The sensors-detect program is already almost completely functional and the website is getting quite some shape as well. If drivers need to have specific parameters for a specific motherboard, they can be embeded in the configuration file and sensors-detect just passes them through (if the config is indeed for the corresponding dmi-info, ofcourse) Dunno if that's what you mean :) > Another thing that this could be used for is to generate a known list of > options that are needed for different mainboards, and maybe provide a > list of modules for the motherboard instead of having to scan for sensors. Done. If the motherboard is supported (IE: Config has been entered), the modules will be loaded by sensors-detect without scanning. You might want to check out some earlier messages on this list, like: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2007-May/019834.html The school project for which we make this changes, is about to stop within a week or so. I don't think I'll stop reading this list or stop improving the script if needed, so if you want to add some "nice-to-haves", feel free to add them to the code or suggest them to this mailing list.
