Sensors on Asus M2N SLI Deluxe

Sensors on Asus M2N SLI Deluxe

[Thomas Richter]

Hi folks,

aparently the 2.6.17.8 kernel or rather the lm_sensors package which is
part of this kernel does not recognize the on-board chips of this 
motherboard correctly. sensors-detect seems to find some chips, but
likely not the correct one as it seems. The corresponding entry in /proc
remains empty, though.

Is there any plan/idea how to support this motherboard?
Is there something I could provide/test to get it supported?

Thanks,
	Thomas

Take a look into lm_sensors ml. Some patches have been posted, which work well 
for me with 2.6.18rc. (I have a slightly different mobo, but I guess the same 
it87 derivative is used on yours.) The will probably go into 2.6.19, IIRC.

Cheers,

If the sensor chip is an IT8716F one, the attached patch will do the
trikc ( patch based on kernel 2.6.18-rc4). It seems that IT8716F are
mostly like the well-known IT8712F. See:
http://www.lm-sensors.org/changeset/4083

Just for the record, gkrellm sees the sensors just fine, but (for
example) ksensors or even lm-sensors 2.10.0 don't. mbmon works fine
though. Multipliers and offsets are probably mobo-dependent (GIGABYTE
GA-M55Plus-S3G Socket AM2 here).

Hope it helps.
