My first issue: the Maxilife driver itself appears to be unfinished judging by a cursory look at the source code (for instance there's a start on autodection but it's commented out). Is it actually under development or defunct now? Is it really working correctly for the particular version of machine I have (the code doesn't mention 550MHz processor models)? ... ``This version of MaxiLife is called MaxiLife'98 and has been succeeded by MaxiLife'99, see below.'' ...the ``see below'' appears to imply figuring out the source code and the way some of the #defines can be configured. Before I resort spending a lot of time trying to understand the source (which is likely of limited value without technical data on what it's trying to get at in my particular machine) I was hoping to get some useful pointers. My other issue is that the machine has an (original equipment) Matrox G400 MAX and the lm_sensors homepage implies there is a driver for that. It is not to be found in the package I installed however. The webpage doesn't appear to comment on this. Is this driver available or has it been rescinded for some important reason? (I got two of these machines for free but the amount of time I've spent tinkering with just one of them proves there's no such thing as a free lunch.) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-|message from the cookie daemon| You know, I just got my cholesterol results.
