great. when you have something that looks good to you please send it to our mailing list. > Subject: > lm_sensors: initial port of i2c chip driver vt8231 to kernel 2.6 > From: > Roy Thompson <roy at haematic.org> > Date: > Fri, 04 Jun 2004 12:04:35 +0100 > To: > mdsxyz123 at yahoo.com > > > Hi Mark, > > I have an Epia 800 board and having recently upgraded to kernel 2.6, I > felt enspired to porting the vt8231 driver from current lm_sensors CVS > to kernel 2.6.6, since from lm_sensor mailing list it did not appear > that anyone else had tried to do this yet. > > I basically copied what you have done for the via686a driver. > I've got it sort of kind of working, I can modprobe it and stuff appears > in /sys and the sensors program shows stuff, although it doesn't all > seem terribly correct.
