I just added an entry in the FAQ about -5V and -12V being way out of range: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html#Section-4_002e6 You might as well want to read this one about Vcore1: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html#Section-4_002e3 > So, all in all sensors is working EXCEPT no fan control.

Quick summary: support is missing. However, Jonas Munsin is working on it. Latest proposal is here: http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg07993.html (The preliminary patch has been since modified and applied, so the actual patch may or may not apply cleanly anymore.) > Are the fancontrol and/or pwmconfig scripts 2.6 ready?

You're correct, lm_sensors and ACPI are two completely separate worlds. ACPI can hardly compete with us when it comes to hardware monitoring. More often than not it provides no more than one temperature readings. We only redirect people to ACPI when it happens that there's nothing lm_sensors can do for them (which is quite frequent for laptops). -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/
