Hi, Jean, thank you for your answer - you're quick! And: Once again: Thank you so much for your really helpful page I cited the mail before! The cooking recipee worked out. Only point with due respect (simply out of date, I guess) was that I tried to really combine 2.4.25-r2 with i2c-2.8.4 and lm-sensors-2.8.4, instead of lm-sensors-2.8.6, as stated on the lm-sensors home page; perhaps you would like to update this detail on your estimable condensed compilation.

And if you did it, you may run into the danger to be thrown upon with insults that now - after people had undergone the labour of patching - perhaps a small detail of gained functionality does not work any more ... Due to experiences in 20 years of large-scale projects, this sounds to me like shutting the stable door when the horse has bolted ;-) Perhaps it's the right attitude to save that enegry for other purposes, now ... just learn the lesson for next time ... if anybody wants to listen, next time ;-(( Guess I have to spend myself a good new working-horse again when AMD has stabilized it's Athlon 64-bit line (esp. memory controller limitations), and childhood deseases of the MoBo have drained a bit more ... As a pure app/file server, the G400 in the old one won't have to do dual-head graphics any more ;-) so I have to survive approx. one year with 2.4.xx, I guess. [ P.S.: The only problem I observe, is the lack of graphics card alternatives with good open source drivers! All those lemmings are voting with their wallets for pure pixel clock speeds regardless of fan weight - and not for _access_ to the desired functionality. ] > If anyone wants to help, please let us know. > > Sorry. You did / do a very good job ! Kind regards from Munich Manfred -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
