That's an IBM Thinkpad T20, isn't it? Thanks for reporting. We have switched to a different detection method though, using IBM's specific VPD records. We believe it should be more reliable that way. Would you be wanting to try it out? Just get the CVS version of sensors-detect here: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/prog/detect/sensors-detect I am also working on a stand-alone VPD decoder as part of the dmidecode project. If you are wanting to help here too, contact me directly and I'll send you the source code (the project is hosted on Savannah, those use isn't really convenient these days, as you may know already). Thanks again! -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
