The "PCI" refers to the way the driver can access the information, not the location of the sensors. > It's entirely possible that these changes duplicate or conflict > with changes someone else has made since 2.10.1 was shipped... > I haven't checked. No, this had not been added yet, so I've applied your patch, with minor changes. Thanks for your contribution! I just noticed that in9 is not included in the w83627ehf part, I guess it's an omission (because you didn't need it on this board) and I can add it? > Also attached are the relevant parts of my /etc/sensors.conf > file. Thanks, I've added it to my collection: http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/lm-sensors/ I've made some reformatting and also changed the limits for VBat which didn't look quite right (nominal Vbat is 3.0V not 3.3V.) I also dropped the temp3 label as I think I understand this input isn't used on your motherboard, right? > With these changes in place, sensord is capable of logging > and round-robin'ing all three of this motherboard's temperature > sensors, both fan speeds, and all of the voltages.
