[Lamar Willis]

Jean,
	lm_sensors 2.8.1 also reported a tie for my Winbond W83627HF chip:


Driver `w83781d' (should be inserted):
  Detects correctly:
  * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa')
    Chip `Winbond W83627HF' (confidence: 8)

Driver `w83627hf' (may not be inserted):
  Misdetects:
  * ISA bus address 0x0290 (Busdriver `i2c-isa')
    Chip `Winbond W83627HF Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 8)

But w83781d does not show my fans, w83627hf does.

Thanks for reporting that. As you can see, both chips had the same
confidence, so I guess that sensors-detect could have suggested to use
w83627hf directly. That's something we should fix IHMO.

MDS, could you please take a look? Maybe we should raise the confidence
value of "Winbond W83627HF Super IO Sensors" to 9 so that it gets
chosen?

Lamar, does the w83627hf driver show any temperature?
