The driver being preliminary, it has no user-space support yet. Neither libsensors not sensors know about it. Our design makes it necessary to update both whenever we want a new chip to be supported. > I have no idea how to debug this further or how to get sensor values > but I'm willing to put some time in this as a tester.

You can however read the raw sensors values in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0290 (or something similar), which is already something to start with, and should at least help you make sure that the driver itself work properly for you. > Are there changes in the 2.6.11-rc5 kernel w.r.t. 2.6.10 that I might > need? Not that I can think of. If you were able to compile the driver, chances are good that it will work properly. -- Jean Delvare
