I should have said that everything appears to be working OK, the relevant files have been created and both the sensors and the sensord binaries has been built. I was just querying the "sensors-detect" warning about the module not being loaded when the driver has been built-in, and wondering if that was stopping the detection of further drivers. I don't think that's the case though. I agree that it does appear to be a bug. Your second link, the setup HOWTO was useful. Thanks again. Richard
