Hello, > I have two questions here: > (1) As we know, it will be very inconvenient for those users with ASUS > NCLV-D motherboard and want to use w83792d driver under linux-2.4, if they > have to write the value "0x08" into "0x04b9" by themselves each time. After talking with Jean we agreed on this: I'm sorry there is no easy way to fix this. We consider this as BIOS bug and it should be fixed by ASUS. If companies use "enterprise 2.4 linux" I hope they will complain about this and ASUS removes such stupid restriction. Userspace possibilty is left for such users. Their discomfort is ASUS fault. My offer: Maybe you should ask ASUS to give you full list of motherboards that are hiding your chips (and of course how to unlock them). I'm willing to implement quirks.c for 2.6 kernels but thats all I could do for you. My oppinion, but I think others will agree on this too: I'm sorry, we strongly belive that this practices are just putting obstacles to our work. I know people werent happy with their proprietary ASMA software under Linux. Maybe thats the reason you are writing the driver for lm_sensors infarstructure. Moreover more obstacles are set: 1) Chips docs under NDA 2) Bus chips under NDA 3) Hide and seek games with ASUS 4) Motherboard manufactures refusing to tell us what formulas they use. (they want NDA, or simply do not respond) Please help us to change this practice! I can't get why they are doing such things. We are simply working on support of their motherboards for free and they dont get it!!! Regards Rudolf
