Dear MDS > I have seen some of your mails blocked on the mailing list but received > at my address; you should _not_ use html mail or it will get blocked. Yes, Jean also told me about it at 2004-11-18, after that I sent all most all my posts by "Plain Text" format, except I made a mistake by accident. :-( > I tested and checked-in your 4-line fix. > In the future please provide a real patch generated by 'diff -u'. I can see the changes in the lm_sensors CVS now, thanks. I did not send you a patch this time because the modification is too little, I will send you patch next time when I modify the driver. > I reviewed the datasheet about comparator/interrupt modes. > Unfortunately, only the temps support comparator mode; voltages and fans > support only interrupt mode (datasheet sections 7.7.5-7.7.7) > Please feed back our disappointment to your > chip designers.

OK, I will discuss with our hardware designer about it, then give you the answer. > My recommendation is that we set the temperature sensors to comparator mode. > The code at line 729 should put bits 7 and 6 of reg. 0x4C to 00 (comparator > mode), > which is what the comment says, but it sets it to 01 (2 times interrupt mode). > This is probably left over from whatever driver you copied from. > So my recommendation is to set the bits to 00. Hmm, I will consider your recommendation carefully, then send you the patch if I modified the driver. I will send you mails again when I want to discuss with you about it. :-) Thanks Best Regards Chunhao ===========================================================================================The privileged confidential information contained in this email is intended for use only by the addressees as indicated by the original author of this email.
