Ick, no, don't do that. Actually normally you can't, the drivers won't let you do that. it87 will refuse to load if acpi_enforce_resources=strict and asus_atk0110 will refuse to load if not. You did not manage to load both at the same time, did you? > I'm trying making sense of the formula in the RVLT method. How can I use > isadump to get the raw values for checking the formula? First you have to find the base I/O address of the chip. sensors tells you it's 0x290. So the dump can be obtained with: # isadump 0x295 0x296 This is preferably done with neither it87 not asus_atk0110 module loaded. See it87.c for voltage register definitions: #define IT87_REG_VIN(nr) (0x20 + (nr)) -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
