No. lm-sensors supports hwmon class devices, which implement the API described in Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface. You driver apparently doesn't implement this (unless it _also_ creates an hwmon class device, check it...) > Any other user space application that can be configured to use the > sysfs information? Not that I know of. If you want to monitor the values, best would be to simply have an hwmon class device created for the device, either by the driver itself, or through a generic power_supply -> hwmon bridge driver if this makes sense. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
