Well that would make my 5 year old daughter a rocket scientist then, since she has no problem understanding the meaning of the sentence "Sorry, no sensors were detected.". You seem to miss the fact that we're just a bunch of Linux-loving people who devote quite a bit of our personal time to the lm-sensors project. It's not our job and we don't get paid for it, we do it because we like it. It's hard enough already with all our other other personal and professional commitments and the lack of support from the chip vendors. The last thing we need is abuse from people like you. If you don't like our SW, don't use it and stay out of our hair. Or even better, how about some constructive contribution to the project? You could add support for your laptop and make a couple of other Sony users happy. Shouldn't be to hard for you given you're an IT professional. Don't expect any kind of support if you keep up this tone. ...juerg > Anaybody can make any sense of this? > > Gijs > ================================================================================= > gijs at gijs:/tmp$ sudo perl "sensors-detect?format=txt" > # sensors-detect revision $Revision$ > > This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need > to load to use lm_sensors most effectively.
