Aaron, thanks for the port. I tried the vt8231 port on a VIA EPIA 5000 and your sensors.conf running 2.6.8 (Debian) with the following output: t8231-isa-6000 Adapter: ISA adapter VCore1: +0.30 V (min = -0.05 V, max = +0.39 V) +5V: +0.23 V (min = -0.08 V, max = +0.56 V) +12V: +1.10 V (min = -0.18 V, max = +1.34 V) fan1: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 2) fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 2) ERROR: Can't get TEMP2 data! Proc Temp: -0.8 C (high = -1 C, hyst = -1 C) vid: +2.05 V The 5000 doesn't have fans, so fan1 and fan2 are good. The other values look a little weird, but I haven't really found any usefuleness for VIA's sensors anyway. (Proc Temp doesn't seem to change even when running CPU benchmarks for extended periods of time). Overall, your port of vt8231 looks to be at least as good as the support in 2.4, so I would support adding it to the 2.6 drivers. (I'm not sure how that is accomplished) Thanks, Jerry --- Aaron Marsh <amarsh at freeshell.org> wrote: > > Starting with a couple of leads posted on this list, > I've put together a > working driver for the vt8231.
