Hi Andrea, Hi Dale, Before I post my question I did, what you have suggested, Andrea. Sensors-detect reports the it87 chip to be included as module/in the kernel, which I did -- but the driver does not produces any output AMD k10 was already in and reports everything -- only the fan stuff was missing, which (normall) the ITE (it87) chip is used for. The version of lm_sensors, which is in portage reports here "driver to be written" but the svn-version of lm_sensors seems to support it. I installed that svn-version locally but I cant read from the ITE chip. Still only voltages and temperatures. GKrellm (normally I use conky) also detects no fans. @Dale: Do you have exactly the same board (ASUS Crosshair IV formula) as I, or? I tried to include "everything" into the kernel but unfortunately the results are the same: No fans and the it87 driver seems not to work for me... Any other ideas? Best regards and have a nive sunday! mcc
