What are the underlying device types for your devices (what does their "subsystem" link point to)? libsensors names devices uniquely, partly based on the device type. If it doesn't know the type, it ignores the device. In particular we don't have support for USB yet... that could be the problem. It might be difficult to come up with a device numbering convention for USB devices that will fit in what libsensors expectes, given to the unlimited nature of USB daisy-chaining. But hopefully we can come up with something good enough for the most common cases. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
