Ah, didn't know that. I stupidly assumed that nearby numbering meant nearby design. [Andrew Pollock] > So are you saying that given the drivers I've loaded, there's nothing to > report on? Yes, that's what I think, and said. Your best chance for hardware monitoring on this laptop is ACPI (fan, ec and thermal). Load all available acpi modules and see in /proc/acpi/{embedded_controller,fan,thermal_zone} if there's any interesting data to be found. On my D600, embedded_controller and fan are empty directories, but thermal_zone has some interesting files. I can get the system temperature, a status flag and a critical temperature limit (which I can also set). That's a bit cheap and inconvenient compared to what lm_sensors can offer, but that's much better than nothing at all. There's some documentation available about acpi/thermal_zone here: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/thermal.html Hope that helps, -- Jean Delvare
