Right, that's on my to-do list for some times already, but couldn't find the time to fix that problem yet, sorry. > script loads it fine, the it8705 chip, too (*and* the sis5595, bob > knows why) It shouldn't.

Not really, except ths sis5595-might-have-confused-your-bus mentioned right above. Make sure you have sysfs support enabled in your kernel and mounted under /sys on your system. Check your dmesg for possible hints, and have a loot at what /sys/bus/i2c contains. You could also unload it87 and run i2cdetect on your sis735 bus, to make sure you see your it87 chip there (I expect you to see it if sensors-detect suggested it). If you can see the chip, run i2cdump on it and we'll try to understand why the it87 drivers did not like it. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
