OK, so the problem is still there :( I thought it was fixed. Why do you have the adm1021 module loaded? Doesn't seem to be used. Has sensors-detect been suggesting you should load it? Likewise, I don't think i2c-viapro is used (unless you partly hid the output of sensors). Does unloading all (i2c-related) modules and reload only the ones you need solve your problem? (unlikely) Could you try writing to the files by yourself? For example, move to /proc/sys/dev/sensors/w83697hf-isa-0290 and do: echo "50 60" > temp1 Then read back the values from temp1. Does it work? In your original ticket, you wrote: > cd /proc/sys/dev/sensors > cat chips 256 w83697hf-isa-029 Is it really "w83697hf-isa-029" or is the trailing "0" missing in your copy only? I hope we'll find a solution. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
