The w83795 driver uses the same detection mechanism used in sensors-detect. So if sensors-detect doesn't see your chip, I am not surprised that the driver didn't either. > I guess I'm missing something really obvious (since I don't really > know what I'm doing...), but don't know where to look.. The full output of sensors-detect is needed to diagnose your problem further. It could be that your SMBus controller isn't supported, or maybe you are supposed to access the chip through IPMI. It is also possible that your documentation is incorrect and your system doesn't actually have a W83795ADG chip. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
