The sensors-detect script uses /dev/port, but the driver itself obviously doesn't (since it belongs to kernel space). Thus there should be no issue (other than sensors-detect not working, but if you already know which devices you have, you don't need it anyway. -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/
