You're right, Virgil's patch is just a hack, no better than just loading the driver with force_id. Not good enough for us to apply it. Actual support for the IT8721F/IT8758E will require more work than this. Maybe I can give it a try, as I have the datasheet... -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
