Hi Luca, I've been talking a little bit more about my new Asus board with Rudolf and we got to the conclusion that the board is almost certainly using two custom ICs with hwmon capabilities along with the W83667HG SuperIO chip (with hwmon logic as well). So I gave a try to the only available solution, your ATK0110 driver (the one posted here: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2008-June/023449.html [1]) and it seemed to work fairly well although the possible issues with some other ACPI drivers (as far as I can say it seems that even the Asus PCProbe Utility for Windows works using the ATK0110 virtual device and driver). > I've rewritten my old ATK driver for the third time so that it works > with both interfaces (and this time I _really_ intend to push it > upstream); This is a *good* news, I'll be glad! > currently I'm not 100% sure of the output of the new > interface (the user that originally contacted me is not responsive...) > but the code is almost complete. > Thierry are you willing to test this _experimental_ driver? Well, I'd like to understand how this ACPI interface works (and maybe write some code), really, but don't know how, where to find documentation... However, although I'm quite busy right now, here I am if you need a tester, sure. You can start having a look at my attached dsdt.dsl, if you need. Marco [1] By the way, I patched the lm-sensors package too, the compilation runs fine but "sensors" is still unable to show the atk readings. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
