Sorry I have not read the w83687thf spec before, It seems a similar chip to w83627thf, so I would like to give a patch to try make the driver work first. I'm not sure if it can work but I'm sure there should be a better solution. I would like to suggest you to download lm_sensors2 from the website, Install the user space tools, run sensors-detect and do what it suggest. Then patch your w83627hf.c with the patch attached. You can try using this w83627hf driver now. Quoting Jim: > BTW - youd do well to drop the *misfortunate* posture. I will try to tell my HW colleagues your dissatisfaction...
