There seems to be a thermal sensor in this chipset and following Intel's documentation I wrote a driver for it. You can download it at: http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/i5500_temp/ Generic installation instructions are available at: http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/INSTALL Unfortunately it turns out the driver doesn't work for me. It returns a constant temperature of 36.5°C. I've tested on a few other systems at work, with the same disappointing result. I have read the datasheet again but can't find what I got wrong, if anything. I'm still sharing my work, in case it works on other systems, or someone looking at my code can figure out what I missed. -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/wishlist.html _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
