[lm-sensors] support for Asus F3Jp laptop

[Vaidotas Zemlys]

Hi,

I recently bought Asus F3Jp laptop. I've already installed Linux
(Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft) and now I am in the process of discovering what
sensors are available. This laptop has T7200 Intel Core 2 Duo
processor and Ati x1700 graphics card, I am running linux kernel
2.6.17 supplied by Ubuntu, and I have lm-sensors 2.10.0 installed also
supplied by Ubuntu. I ran sensors-detect, and it detected and loaded
bus support for Intel ICH7. But when I ran sensors, I received a
message that i2c is not available and I should check wheher I have
sysfs. I googled this message and found various responses, usually
telling that it is a sign that lm-sensors do not support my system.
Hence I am writing this letter.

I tried downloading and compiling latest lm-sensors, but it failed
after make user, with message that there is no make rule for file
stdio.h or something like that. I ran newest sensors-detect as told in
installation wizard, and it also detected  that I should load coretemp
kernel module. Now this module is in lm-sensors source, or I should
compile a new kernel?

Currently I can see only the temperature reading from
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature. I have module fan loaded but
directory /proc/acpi/fan is empty. I am not very knowledgeable in
details which drivers control what, but I want to find what sensors I
can read on this laptop. I am willing to test new software and give as
much information as possible.

PS I was vague on error message details, because I do not have the
laptop at hand I will post followup with detailed error messages.

Hi,

Here are the detailed error messages as promised:

With lm-sensors 2.10.0 sensors-detect generated this:

# Generated by sensors-detect on Tue Feb 27 00:30:52 2007
# I2C adapter drivers
i2c-i801
# I2C chip drivers
eeprom

Sensors gives this error:
mpiktas at dorlomin:~$ sudo sensors
Can't access procfs/sysfs file
Unable to find i2c bus information;
For 2.6 kernels, make sure you have mounted sysfs and libsensors
was compiled with sysfs support!
For older kernels, make sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-proc'!

And trying to compile version 2.10.2 I get this message:

mpiktas at dorlomin:~/src/lm_sensors-2.10.2$ make user
make: *** No rule to make target `stdio.h', needed by
`prog/sensors/chips.rd'.  Stop.

I will repeat my question. What do I need to compile new lm-sensors
version, and how do I find out what sensors are available on my
laptop?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Vaidotas Zemlys

I had the same problem (solved in a thread some weeks ago) with an asus w1n 
laptop. The problem was that smbus was hidden.
You can check if your smbus is hidden by runing : 
lspci|grep SMBus

The output of this command is:
00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 02)

I read the thread you were refering. I downloaded the bash script
provided by Rudolph Marek, but I see that it will not run, because it
does not support ICH7 family. Another question, how did you find out
that you have sensor chip adt7463? Also through lspci? I would like to
find out what chip my laptop has , if it has it at all.

I knew it was an adt7463 from a previous install of linux on that laptop.
I am runing out of ideas to solve your problem. Sorry.

Hello,

Perhaps you need some header files, in debian the package is called lib6-dev
and libsysfs-dev.

Please can you provide full output of sensors-command (the newest one)

Thanks,
Rudolf
