This is Chunhao, 
I'm always using the Redhat/Fedora Core to develop 792 driver, I'd like
to
introduce the problem I met before:
After I install Redhat/Fedora, there will be the lm_sensors related
programs
in the /usr/sbin/ directory, such as:
/usr/sbin/sensors
/usr/sbin/sensors-detect
/usr/sbin/i2cset
/usr/sbin/isaset

And after I install the latest lm_sensors version(CVS version),
the latest lm_sensors programs will be installed into /usr/local/sbin/
directory, if I use #sensors or #sensors-detect at this time, the
programs
will be the old one in /usr/sbin/ and can NOT find the 792 chip.

So, usually I will remove the above 4 programs in /usr/sbin/ directory
and make soft links from /usr/local/sbin/_program_ to /usr/sbin/ (this
soft link step may be omitted, you only need remove) then it will work.

If it still can NOT work, then maybe there is some other reason, we need
more help of lm_sensors :-(



Thanks
Best Regards
Chunhao
