I've been messing (clumsily, since I am learning C while doing this... please be patient with me :) with Harald's via_cputemp.ko driver and have noticed that while I do not get readings using his driver as is, some printk's added into his code show that there is a reading being obtained. Here is some sample output: acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +57.0?C (crit = +105.0?C) c7temp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter in0: +0.84 V temp1: +0.0?C via_cputemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: +0.1?C root at justin-mininote:/lib/modules/2.6.31-rc6justin/kernel/drivers/hwmon# dmesg | tail [28068.954298] TEMP: 53 [28075.767438] show_temp: 3 [28075.767451] CPU: 0, MSR: 1169, eax: 35, edx: 0, err: 3 [28075.767459] TEMP: 53 [28096.575734] show_temp: 3 [28096.575746] CPU: 0, MSR: 1169, eax: 37, edx: 0, err: 3 [28096.575753] TEMP: 55 [28156.787908] show_temp: 3 [28156.787920] CPU: 0, MSR: 1169, eax: 38, edx: 0, err: 3 [28156.787928] TEMP: 56 As you can see, the dmesg log shows a CPU temp that tracks with but does not exactly duplicate the ACPI temp. To me, this means that I am probably getting good data. The function in question is show_temp on lines 69-86 in the attached code. If someone can help me understand how the string buffer 'buf' with the temperature reading is supposed to be passed on to userland code, I'd appreciate it. Once again, please be patient as I am NOT a programmer, just a guy with a C7 cpu who want to get lm-sensors working. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
