Thanks for your report. However, you should have noticed that I am both the person in charge of the Thinkpad issue in lm_sensors and the author of dmidecode. I would bet this is no coincidence, don't you think? ;) And yes, the VPD method is now implemented in sensors-detect, although I agree that it could be refined a bit. Maybe our documentations would need to be refreshed a bit, but this is a low priority task at the moment. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
