I remember that there were some problems with fan startup using lm_sensors (but i don't know now). I think you should try by yourself, your tests will be surely more accurate! IMHO you should go on with your module and, at most, write a little note in Kconfig help about a '(nearly?) working lm_sensors support'. luca -- Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers. -- Leonard Brandwein http://shammash.homelinux.org/ - http://www.artha.org/shammash/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

No, I've not managed to use lm_sensors :) I did not try very hard neither... I would really like to know if someone managed to use it, and if so, gives a comparative evaluation of both modules. -- Cedric -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
