No, a configuration example for another chip on a different motherboard wouldn't help you at all. Chip configuration is motherboard-specific. And if you really want this, well, etc/sensors.conf.eg is full of this, so you can just look there. At this point you still didn't tell us what brand and model your motherboard was, so we can't even give any advice. In the absence of additional information, the only thing I can suggest is to try a configuration file which corresponds to the default wiring of the ITE IT8712F Super-I/O chip. This is what the chip "it8712-*" section in etc/sensors.conf.eg is all about. So, you could copy that section (from chip "it8712f-*" to the following chip statement) from etc/sensors.conf.eg and copy it into, for example, /etc/sensors.d/it8712. If we knew which motherboard you have, we could check if we already have a suitable configuration file for it. We don't have that many configuration files, but you may be lucky. Or we may have a configuration file for a similar board from the same vendor, which would be a better starting point than the default section. Writing a custom, perfect configuration file for a specific motherboard can be very difficult and time consuming. This isn't something I am willing to do for free for people I don't know. I intend to write a guide on how to do this but didn't have the time to do it yet. > As well as, do you know an other command for linux except of sensors to let > me know the chip (e.g. it8712-isa-0290) of my PC? There are several commands listing the hardware included in your PC, as well a graphical front-ends. That's not exactly on-topic here and I don't mean to give you an exhaustive list, but to list the ones I know and use frequently: * "lspci" will list all the PCI devices on your system. * "lsusb" will list all the USB devices on your system. * "dmidecode" will list many information about your hardware as encoded in the SMBIOS/DMI table in your BIOS. * "hwinfo" (at least on Suse Linux) will list a lot of information about your system. * There's also a tool names "lshw" which tries to gather as much information as possible, but I'm not sure about its status and availability in distributions. * I think both KDE and Gnome come with an applet which displays hardware information. -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/wishlist.html
