Either ask them for an update, or install it yourself from our source package. You'll need the source tree matching your running kernel present and configured (if your distribution has a "kernel-source" package, that's what you want). Then, compile lm_sensors with "make" and copy the driver from kernel/chips/w83627hf.o to the place your distribution is storing the drivers (/lib/modules/2.4.22-26mdk/kernel/drivers/i2c/chips/ or something similar). Run "depmod -ae" to make sure everything's OK, and you should be able to modprobe w83627hf. As for the errors you got when running sensors-detect, I suspect that Mandrake added changes of their own to our script. Please get our original script (either from the 2.8.3 package you'll have downloaded, of from CVS here: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/prog/detect/sensors-detect) and confirm if the error still occurs. If it does, I'll investigate. Good luck. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
