[PATCH] fix base address hinting in via686a docs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

According to google, 307 hits place the 686a chip to 0x6000
two to 0xC00 and one hit to 0xe200. I also add some info to
sensors-detect.

I would like to thank Khali for advices about perl ;)

regards

Rudolf
