It's not a bad start. I wonder if it should be implemented literally as a table; with vendor id, family, model, and stepping. Walk the table to find the answer. Although, I guess the VRM spec can't differ due to different processor stepping alone? > You can get it here: > > http://ssh.cz/~ruik/cpuidvrm.c > http://ssh.cz/~ruik/Makefile > make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.6 SUBDIRS=$PWD modules As I found it, it doesn't actually compile for me... misplaced paren. > Cut & paste from relevant part of source will follow at the end of this > message. > > What is needed now ? > > 0) review by people here > 1) test the code for different processors, mainly see if Tualatin is > working and opteron.

That's a symptom of a bigger problem... we don't want to suddenly make all the sensors chip drivers depend on x86. I.e. we'll need trivial stubs for other architectures. How many of those even have VID? No idea. Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
