Nobody took the time to port the driver to Linux 2.6, which is why you can't find it. The chip drivers documentation in the lm_sensors package is for the Linux 2.4 drivers and should not be installed on a Linux 2.6-based system. I would be very surprised if a Scylla chip was used in a recent system. And I very much doubt any other chip would be even slightly compatible with it. So my advice would be: forget about fscscy, it's not going to help you. > The point of this being that there are 3 more fans that the IT8712F can > monitor, according to the datasheet, but it appears that the 8712F > driver does not have those other 3 fans.

Our driver doesn't support them for now, but it could be added if enough users show interest. -- Jean Delvare
