Because libsensors builds on top of a standardized sysfs interface, and said interface doesn't include chassis intrusion at the moment. So the first step would be to define such a standard interface at sysfs level, then make sure all drivers implement it properly, and only then it will be possible to add support in libsensors. > As I understand it, chassis intrusion is a feature that is supported > by the Super-I/O integrated circuit?

Most often SUper-I/O chips are accessed via LPC, but some of them (SMSC) have their hardware monitoring block accessed via the SMBus instead. > 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 f71882fg driver doesn't support chassis intrusion detection at the moment (although the chip can do it, if wired properly, as you found out yourself already.) > The 'sensors' tool is supposed to mention chassis intrusion.
