All is working now. Thanks again. Do the it87 series of chips ever support pwm? cheers, bradley Driver `it87' (should be inserted but causes problems): Detects correctly: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `ITE 8705F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) Misdetects: * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa') Chip `ITE IT8705F / IT8712F / SiS 950' (confidence: 8) On Wed, 2004-05-12 at 01:24, Jean Delvare wrote: > >I have a lm-sensors up and running on 2.6.5 kernel, on a VIA KM266 based > >motherboard.
