Does anyone got this working on this or an equivalent board with 890FX chipset? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards mcc I'll tell you how I did mine. Just build all the sensor drivers into the kernel, not modules but built in. Compile and boot the kernel. Methos one, if you open gkrellm and it can see the fans, temp and such, then it is working. Sometimes you can look in gkrellm's configuration and find the driver. When you open the sensors window, it will list the path which contains the name of the sensor. Another way, cat /sys/devices/platform/ then hit tab twice. Mine for example lists it87.552. The it87 part is what you look for in the kernel. If you want to be certain it sees everything, continue with the cat command and hitting tab until you get to where it lists all the fan and temp files. Mine has two temps and about 4 fans I think it is. If you see what should be there then you have the right one. Then go back to the kernel and remove everything but the one that matches what you found either in gkrellm or the cat command. Rebuild the kernel and reboot. This seems like a lot of trouble but after spending about two hours on google and not finding the info, that was what I did. It isn't always the easy way but it works for me. You could also google for linux compatible hardware and see if someone was nice enough to post what they used on one of those sites. That doesn't always work. Hope that helps or gives you a good chuckle for the round about way of doing it. lol Dale :-) :-)

Re: [gentoo-user] FAN-Speed readout/control ???
Just build all the sensor drivers into the kernel, not modules but built in. A simpler way: - make sure you have CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=y, CONFIG_I2C_HELPER_AUTO=y and select the correct I2C hardware bus drivers for your platform (CONFIG_I2C_I801 for most recent Intel chipsets and CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4 for most recent AMD chipsets; reading the help text of the various drivers should point you in the right direction); - emerge sys-apps/lm_sensors - run sensors-detect - enable the drivers for all the things sensors-detect finds. Hopefully you won't have any unsupported chips... - you can then add lm_sensors to the default runlevel, so that it loads the correct modules during the boot process. The final step is to configure the software you use to display the sensor readings. It is usually a matter of attaching the correct labels to the various inputs, and possibly tweaking the scaling factors so that the readings match those shown by the BIOS; as the details depend on the specific manufacturer and model of your board, this will usually be a trial and error process, although google might help you. The comments in /etc/sensor3.conf, which controls software using the libraries provided by lm_sensors, are also a useful source of information. cat /sys/devices/platform/ This will miss those sensors which do not appear as a platform device (e.g. the AMD k10 on-die temperature sensors, which is a PCI device). andrea
Re: [gentoo-user] Gigabyte and controlling fans
It's a Gigabyte 770T series mobo. It uses the it8720 chip. You can try writing directly to the pwm control inputs under the platform device node (i.e. /sys/devices/platform/it87.xxx/pwm*); these usually take 8-bit (0-255) values. E.g. to set pwm1 to a value of 127 you just do echo 127 /sys/devices/platform/it87.xxx/pwm1 You should take a look at the it87 driver source to find out what the various parameters mean. Note that I don't have a board with a modern it87 chip (i.e. one which can do fan PWM control) at hand, so the device names might be different; these were taken from a board using a Winbond w83627dhg chip. Also, if you wish to control the fans manually you should probably turn off any kind of automatic fan control in the BIOS. andrea

Many lm_sensors drivers are now in the kernel tree, Even VMware guest drivers are now in the kernel tree. So the potential for clashes is minimizing.

I _think_ that if you had a totally up to date system and a recent set of ebuilds on the system then likely none of them would depend on mplib. (Assuming it's been dropped for some reason.) The issue you need to sort of get your head around is that you are searching from some _older_, currently installed package that depends on this dropped library. Once you know the name of that package, if you emerge -C it then the system no longer requires it and complaints should go away. Assuming they do then I would likely do an emerge -p --depclean, which gets the system clean without the program you want, then I would emerge the newest version of that program which doesn't require mplib. Again, it's sort of an Easter Egg Hunt getting to all the older programs that required the library that's been removed. There may be more than one program that used it. One other possibility, I think, is that everything is OK with your programs but some mplib executable (possibly a *.so file or something) was left laying around and now revdep-rebuild is complaining that it cannot fix it.

Apparently, though unproven, at 00:56 on Monday 13 December 2010, cov...@ccs.covici.com did opine thusly: One thing that is NOT a solution is to not delete the ebuild. That results in your tree being out of sync with upstream. That is not allowed. I agree that the tree should be in sync, but how come I was able to unmerge the package? It must keep the information somewhere -- and it didn't tell me anything about having packages with no ebuilds -- that would have been OK. Maybe that is all I would need, but it didn't happen. Because portage noted what files it installed and an unmerge consists only of deleting everything in the list. You do not require an ebuild to unmerge something - that would lead to the undesirable situation of needing to delete something that cannot be deleted As for no output, maybe you just forgot the -v switch. Or maybe you mail everything to yourself as an elog and deleted it. I dunno. Portage did nothing wrong andyou are getting worked up about nothing. There is nothing to be concerned about, nothing to change, nothign to be worried about. All of this is perfectly normal and just one of those things that happens that you need to deal with.

There are reports in google about it and a suggested fix is to disable 11n and 5.0GHz: http://www.jpdw.org/blog/intel-wireless-broken-ubuntu-904 Run modinfo for your driver and find the parameters that control other than 802.11g modes and disable them by creating and adding them to a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ for your driver if it's not already there. Alternatively, see if you can disable any modes other than 802.11g at your AP and test to find out if this resolves the problem for now. HTH. Solved and saved by wicd!
