Hello-
I'm trying to use lm-sensors with a core i3. I talked with a developer on IRC about sensors not working, and this is what he had to say:
13:39 khali: zombor: please put the full output of sensors-detect on pastebin 13:39 khali: I'll take a look 13:39 zombor: sure, hold on 13:42 zombor: khali: http://pastebin.com/KPLZbEkd 13:42 zombor: ive got an i3 machine with an asus H61 mobo 14:09 khali: zombor: oh well, it seems that one of the I2C buses on the i915 (graphics) adapter is seriously misbehaving 14:10 zombor: :( 14:10 zombor: yeah, graphics didnt even work until 2.6.38 14:10 khali: basically it claims there's an I2C chip at every possible address 14:10 khali: I've never seen this before 14:11 khali: as a result, the 2 chips for which we have the worse detection are detected 14:11 khali: but I'm 100% certain these are false positives 14:11 khali: I dropped the sbs detection this morning, BTW 14:11 khali: I guess I should do the same now for max6650, for good measure 14:12 zombor: ok, any timeline on planned support for i915? 14:12 khali: zombor: don't ask me, it has nothing to do with lm-sensors 14:13 khali: sensors-detect is just a victim of the bug, it's not responsible for it 14:13 zombor: whats it have to with then? 14:13 khali: you should report to the i915 driver maintainer 14:13 khali: Chris Wilson chris@chris-wilson.co.uk 14:13 khali: and dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
So, I'm here to report this bug! I'm using kernel 2.6.38.
