Yes, I checked out the head branch ( http://lm-sensors.org/svn/lm-sensors/trunk) when the stock version (2.10.1in my Linux distro) didn't work -- and I confirmed the code in the repository was also incapable of printing anything out from the "sensors" command. (or sensord) In brief summary: sensors & sensord would query libsensors, which had no idea what the string "w83627dhg" mapped to so the library would return error codes. So in my patch, I added w83627dhg using w83627ehf as a model, to libsensors, sensord and sensors. If some one was successful in getting repository code for "sensors" to print out temps+fans+voltages from w83627dhg, then they weren't using lm-sensors/trunk, or support was removed from the time they used trunk to the time I checked it out. <shrug> Even without modifying the lm-sensors svn code, I could still see temps using gkrellm via the /sys interface, but it felt "unclean" that I had to tell gkrellm how to scale the raw numbers into voltages, etc -- separately from ksensors, xsensors, etc... I like the centrality of libsensors for that -- hence my motivation for updating my sensors.conf and consequently, investigating why did the "sensors" command did not print anything out for my chipset. (I was originally wondering if I still had a syntax error in sensors.conf, so I used gdb+ddd to step through the program execution -- that's how I found there was No support for *dhg in the repository code.) - David On 12/15/06, David Hubbard <david.c.hubbard at gmail.com> wrote: > > David, > > I remember seeing some emails a few weeks ago where people successfully > detected the 627DHG using the latest sensors checked out from the source > repository at lm-sensors.org.
