[lm-sensors] Unknown chip on Dell Latitude D630

[lm-sensors] Unknown chip on Dell Latitude D630

[Arne Stäcker]

Hi,
when I run sensors-detect, I get:

...
Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   No
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     Yes
Found unknown chip with ID 0x3201
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'...                   No
Trying family `SMSC'...                                     Yes
Found unknown non-standard chip with ID 0x13
...

I'm using Gentoo (x86), kernel 2.6.22.9, lm-sensors 2.10.4.

regards
 Arne

This is an unknown chip. You could try the superiotool
(http://linuxbios.org/Superiotool) to check if it can find something.
Other than that, you would have to open your machine and look for a
chip with the SMSC logo an tell us the chip name. Maybe we can do
something with that information...

Jumping a bit late into the game (waking up). Dell now a days is a Linux 
friendly company. We could try asking Matt Domsch from Dell if he can help 
identifyong the part.

I'll send him a mail about this and include Juerg and Arne in the CC. I'll 
leave this off the list to not send Matt's mail address to the list.

Regards,

Hans

The output of 'superiotool -V' would be useful.

If the 0x13 above is correct, then superiotool won't recognize the chip
either, though. I can't seem to find a public datasheet for it.
