Does this mean it's not possible to read the sensors via the atk0110 virtual device on this board? Yes, unfortunately ASUS is abandoning the ATK interface on newer boards. > I don't really want to go back and use the lax setting on the acpi address space handling/detection, so that'd be a bummer.. The sensors is (AFAICS) only used to notify the host via WMI when the temperature of the CPU goes over a threshold. I don't see _what_ call that method, probably there's something polling it periodically. Using the native driver is the only solution, I don't see any other way to access the sensor using ACPI. > Another thought, since this is pretty much an EFI board, does it mean you have to be booted in EFI mode to be able to use the atk0110 module? It shouldn't matter. Luca _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
