We can do that. But how does this translate into CPUID numbers? That's all we can check. > Linux should not lack temperature sensor support for such popular > Processors. This is a pointless statement, I hope you realize it. There are a lot of things that should not be, but are still, for various reasons. Want an example? A big company such as AMD shouldn't have released millions of CPUs with broken thermal sensors. As it stands, we do what we can to cope with their mistake. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
