The whole purpose of sensors-detect is to tell you which kernel modules should be loaded. If you built a monolithic kernel you must already know that. > It seems that lmsensors is unable to see this device but it is there. "lmsensors" is a set of tools. Which tool(s) are you claiming can't see the device? sensors-detect? sensors? Both? Something else? What does "sensors" return? > cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/name > w83l786ng It is there indeed. > As I said the actual device is a w83l786g Should't matter, while the chips aren't 100% compatible they have the same chip ID so the same driver supports both. > # sensors-detect revision 6085 (2012-10-30 18:18:45 +0100) > # System: VIA Technologies Ltd.

This is your W83L786G chip. sensors-detect would tell you if the driver was built as a module rather than embedded in the kernel. I have improved sensors-detect so that it can handle monolithic kernels better. Please give it a try and report the output: http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/lm-sensors/sensors-detect -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
