I'm testing with an X1900, but sensors-detect is currently not picking anything up on my multimedia bus. To be fair, neither is X, so I suspect that the interface on the r500s may not be identical to the one on the older cards. Or, alternatively, my X1900 simply doesn't have any I2C monitoring hardware. I should have time to poke this more this week. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59 at srcf.ucam.org
