Hi Sandeep, Here are the latest news about my pc87360 driver. I've also found some information about your motherboard. I couldn't find anything relevant about your exact motherboard reference (P4B-LA). However, searching the web pointed me to two alternate references that are probably almost similar: P4U-LA and P4B-MX. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?lc=en&cc=us&docname=bph07293 http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=P4B-MX Does any of these motherboard layouts match yours? There is a BIOS setup screenshot in the P4B-MX manual, presenting two temperatures, three fan speeds and six voltages. This is a first hint of what we can expect to obtain from your chip (especially for the voltages, for which we still don't know the order and conversions). Do you have any idea of what the VCore voltage should be for your system? This is the one to start with since it doesn't need any conversion. I have been fixing a few incorrectnesses in the driver, updating the default sensors.conf file, and adding two new features to the driver: * The "init" module parameter lets you have the driver forcibly enable more or less monitoring channels of the chip. * The dynamic fan clock divisor allows the driver to select the best fan clock divisor for the fan speed and min limit. You don't have to set the divisor by yourself. At the moment, I've left that second possibility (the fan_div file is still there and writable) for testing purposes, but it will be gone before I release the driver. I would like you to get the latest CVS version and do the following things: 1* Copy etc/sensors.conf.eg to /etc/sensors.conf. It is important that you have an up-to-date configuration file with no ignore lines for the following tests. 2* Compile the driver with DEBUG enabled. 3* Get my dumper script from http://jdelvare.net1.nerim.net/sensors/pc87366/dump-pc87366.sh and run it from an empty directory. It'll dump the contents of your chip and build a tarball with the results. 4* Load the driver with "modprobe pc87360". Run sensors -s && sensors, save the output somewhere. 5* Unload the driver, reload with "modprobe pc87360 init=3". This will forcibly enable all temperature and voltage channels. Run sensors again. 6* Run the dumper script again, in a different empty directory so that it doesn't overwrite the previous files. And of course send me all the generated files. As for the auto fan clock divider selection, you should observe the following phenomenons: 1* Dividers auto adjust. If you write dividers with "echo X Y Z > fan_div", running sensors will shift them if needed, one step each time, until the driver likes what it gets. 2* Setting a fan min that does not fit with the current divisor will increase the divisor as needed. For example, if you try "echo 800 > fan2", the divisor should become 4, automatically. And it should stay that way until you change to a higher min limit. In any case, min fan settings should be preserved (unless you are writing a new one, of course). Don't bother trying PWM, I have not changed anything there. I think there's something weird on your board that I cannot fix by the mean of software :( PWM seems to be working as intended for my other tester. I think that's all. Thanks a lot for testing! -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/
