-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I already tried to file this report on the http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/support.html page but for some unknown reasons it doesn't seem to register my ticket. Here is the ticket i wanted to submit to the database : I have googled a lot and searched the database and FAQ(section 5.3) but i found no answer to my problem. The adt7463 on my asus w1n laptop / mandrake 10.1 Official Edition is not detected in spite of all my efforts. I found nothing consistent in the logs. Interesting part of sensors-detect : - ---------------------------- ... We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. You do not need any special privileges for this. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): YES Probing for PCI bus adapters... Sorry, no PCI bus adapters found. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script. To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this. i2c-dev is not loaded. Do you want to load it now? (YES/no): YES Module loaded succesfully. We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. That often includes address 0x69 (clock chip). Some chips are also accessible through the ISA bus. ISA probes are typically a bit more dangerous, as we have to write to I/O ports to do this. This is usually safe though. Do you want to scan the ISA bus? (YES/no): YES Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' Trying address 0x0290... Failed! Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78-J' Trying address 0x0290... Failed!

Either your sensors are not supported, or they are connected to an I2C bus adapter that we do not support. See doc/FAQ, doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html, or http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/lm_sensors-FAQ.html (FAQ #4.24.3) for further information. If you find out what chips are on your board, see http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/newdrivers.html for driver status. ... - ---------------------------- Actually i ran speedfan on windows XP and it finds a ADT7463 (it says ID $27) on an smbus ($2E address). It also says ISA bus at $0290 and SMBUS at$0540 (intel 82801DB). lsmod gives : - ---------------------------- i2c-dev 7808 0 i2c-i801 7184 0 i2c-core 18836 2 i2c-dev,i2c-i801 usbmouse 4480 0 tsdev 6080 0 joydev 8128 0 usbhid 40448 0 fglrx 234816 7 md5 3840 1 ipv6 224132 12 snd-seq-oss 30848 0 snd-seq-midi-event 6272 1 snd-seq-oss snd-seq 50576 4 snd-seq-oss,snd-seq-midi-event snd-pcm-oss 54568 0 snd-mixer-oss 18432 1 snd-pcm-oss snd-intel8x0 29900 1 snd-ac97-codec 68304 1 snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm 87304 2 snd-pcm-oss,snd-intel8x0 snd-timer 21252 2 snd-seq,snd-pcm snd-page-alloc 7944 2 snd-intel8x0,snd-pcm gameport 3584 1 snd-intel8x0 snd-mpu401-uart 6144 1 snd-intel8x0 snd-rawmidi 20004 1 snd-mpu401-uart snd-seq-device 6536 3 snd-seq-oss,snd-seq,snd-rawmidi snd 51844 14 snd-seq-oss,snd-seq-midi-event,snd-seq,snd-pcm-oss,snd-mixer-oss,snd-intel8x0,snd-ac97-codec,snd-pcm,snd-timer,snd-mpu401-uart,snd-rawmidi,snd-seq-device soundcore 7136 1 snd ipt_TOS 2176 12 ipt_REJECT 5888 4 ipt_pkttype 1536 4 ipt_LOG 5760 8 ipt_state 1664 17 ipt_multiport 1920 0 ipt_conntrack 2304 0 iptable_mangle 2304 1 ip_nat_irc 3696 0 ip_nat_tftp 3184 0 ip_nat_ftp 4336 0 iptable_nat 20780 3 ip_nat_irc,ip_nat_tftp,ip_nat_ftp ip_conntrack_irc 70576 1 ip_nat_irc ip_conntrack_tftp 3248 0 ip_conntrack_ftp 71344 1 ip_nat_ftp ip_conntrack 27944 9 ipt_state,ipt_conntrack,ip_nat_irc,ip_nat_tftp,ip_nat_ftp,iptable_nat,ip_conntrack_irc,ip_conntrack_tftp,ip_conntrack_ftp iptable_filter 2304 1 ip_tables 14592 10 ipt_TOS,ipt_REJECT,ipt_pkttype,ipt_LOG,ipt_state,ipt_multiport,ipt_conntrack,iptable_mangle,iptable_nat,iptable_filter af_packet 15880 6 ds 17412 4 yenta_socket 18432 0 pcmcia_core 58564 2 ds,yenta_socket eth1394 16904 0 sk98lin 159912 1 ide-cd 36512 0 cdrom 36764 1 ide-cd ohci1394 30340 0 ieee1394 289464 2 eth1394,ohci1394 loop 12424 0 ntfs 145820 2 nls_utf8 1792 3 nls_cp437 5632 1 vfat 11136 1 fat 39360 1 vfat intel-agp 19360 1 agpgart 27176 2 intel-agp nvram 6920 0 evdev 7808 1 pcspkr 3304 0 ehci-hcd 25604 0 uhci-hcd 27792 0 usbcore 100580 6 usbmouse,usbhid,ehci-hcd,uhci-hcd thermal 15240 0 tc1100-wmi 6916 0 processor 21160 1 thermal fan 4100 0 button 6416 0 battery 9732 0 asus_acpi 9360 0 ac 4740 0 ext3 117352 1 jbd 47512 1 ext3 - ---------------------------- lspci gives : - ---------------------------- 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82855PM Processor to I/O Controller (rev 21) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82855PM Processor to AGP Controller (rev 21) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 03) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 03) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 03) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-M) USB 2.0 EHCI Controller (rev 03) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 83) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801DBM LPC Interface Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801DBM (ICH4) Ultra ATA Storage Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) 00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 03) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.

I also tried to insert the lm85 module corresponding to the adt7463 sensor chip. I tried many different parameters, but i don't know how to pass a correct parameter described as : "List of adapter,address pairs which are unquestionably assumed to contain a `adt7463' chip" in this document : http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/chips/lm85 I suppose the problem is that there is no bus to reach the sensor. (SMBus ? i2c ? Isa ???). But i have no clue on how to solve this. i2cdetect gives nothing. i2cdump gives nothing. isadump gives only zeros. I can't read what's on the chip because it's a laptop and i would lose warranty if i open it. I don't know motherboard type but lspci above will tell you. Sensor version is 2.8.7 Kernel version is 2.6.8.1 I need this lm_sensor to lower the fan speed in order to have more battery time.
