Re: Asus P7p55D motherboard sensor issues

[MrBill <cruznredrune@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks again.  When you said to grab the asus file from a newer kernel are you telling me to load 11.3 and copy the file or is there somewhere on the net I can download the file.  I have tried to download the asus_atk0110 file before and did not have much success.
I do have the source files loaded for my kernel.

Thanks

Ah, that :) Yes, it's a known bug.

No, that a different thing: it allows the user to load native drivers
(which potentially dangerous).

Grab the driver from a newer kernel and put it somewhere, then create
a simple Makefile:

obj-m += asus_atk0110.o

and compile with:

make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/source O=/lib/modules/$(uname
-r)/build M=$(pwd)

You'll need the kernel sources installed (it should be either
kernel-default-devel or kernel-desktop-devel depending on which kernel
you're running).
