Thank you for the mail. I know exactly what chip I have (W83697HF) as it says on it, therefore I could choose the right driver from the outset. I have compiled a kernel with all the drivers as modules, then detected them. The results were as I expected, I now know exactly what drivers I need and sensors works. Thanks again, David
