Fan 2 works fine for me. You probably need to increase the fan divisor in sensors.conf (maybe mbmon has a higher default value?) > > Maybe some of its code can be ported to lm_sensors ? > > Why not.

The total of our support for ASB100 right now is to pretend that it's an as99127f. If we're going to do more than that, my vote is to put it into a different file altogether.

Also, w83781d doesn't really want to support yet another unique sensor chip.

Have a look here for info: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/developers/new_drivers If not I will eventually get around to it. Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
