Can you use that ? On laptops it is almost never possible to access monitoring chips directly, one has to go through ACPI or a vendor-specific layer. So Kenny should prepare himself to the idea that the emc1403 driver in linux-next will most likely not work. But it's certainly worth a try anyway. Kenny, how do you know that your laptop has an EMC1402 chip? Doesn't the ACPI thermal driver work for you? Did you try the vendor-specific driver for your laptop? Some of them (asus-wmi, compal-laptop, eeepc-laptop and thinkpad_acpi) provide temperature readings. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
