Why does 'libsensors' not have support support for chassis intrusion? As I understand it, chassis intrusion is a feature that is supported by the Super-I/O integrated circuit? How is communication done with the Super-I/O circuit? Is it via I2C? LPC? Where in /sys/class/hwmon/ would I find chassis intrusion? In my /sys/class/hwmon/ there are links to other directories, there are hwmon0, hwmon1, hwmon2 where hwmon0 and hwmon1 are linked to coretemp.0 and coretemp.1. hwmon2 points to /sys/devices/platform/f71882fg.2560/hwmon/hwmon2/ /sys/devices/platform/f71882fg.2560/hwmon/hwmon2$ ls device power subsystem uevent /sys/devices/platform/f71882fg.2560$ ls driver fan2_alarm fan3_beep fan4_input in1_beep in3_input in7_input power temp1_crit temp1_max temp2_beep temp2_input temp3_alarm temp3_fault temp3_type fan1_alarm fan2_beep fan3_input hwmon in1_input in4_input in8_input subsystem temp1_crit_hyst temp1_max_hyst temp2_crit temp2_max temp3_beep temp3_input uevent fan1_beep fan2_input fan4_alarm in0_input in1_max in5_input modalias temp1_alarm temp1_fault temp1_type temp2_crit_hyst temp2_max_hyst temp3_crit temp3_max fan1_input fan3_alarm fan4_beep in1_alarm in2_input in6_input name temp1_beep temp1_input temp2_alarm temp2_fault temp2_type temp3_crit_hyst temp3_max_hyst The 'sensors' tool is supposed to mention chassis intrusion. Does it always do this, or only if its supported, or only if its triggered and is in alarm mode? I have the Fintek f71882fg super-io circuit which is supposed to support chassis intrusion according to this PDF http://www.fintek.com.tw/files/productfiles/F71882_ab.pdf On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 6:23 PM, Jean Delvare <khali at linux-fr.org> wrote: > Hi Fred, > > On Sat, 24 Jan 2009 18:08:47 +0100, Fred . wrote: >> Some computer cases (chassis) have a switch that gets triggered if the >> case is opened, this sends a signal to the motherboard via a wire >> connected to the switch. >> >> Can lm_sensors read this?
