I'm surprised, as the feature names exposed by libsensors are the old (non-standard) ones, even for 2.6 kernels. The mapping to the new symbols is internal as far as I can see. "sensors -u" returns the old feature names. So I guess they assume that old names are somewhat standard, and it doesn't work for all drivers? > Converting them thus should be easy.
