Thanks a lot! Works OK for me (pb 17" 1ghz), but to compile, i had to s#<linux/i2c-dev.h>#"i2c-dev.h"# in module_pmac.c and copy lmsensor's i2c-dev.h to the src dir. Also, for 2.6 kernels I have an updated version of the lmu.c at http://alex.homelinux.net/~alex/tmp/lmu.c Its detection code is a lot less intrusive, it doesn't probe all i2c devices, but gets its information from sysfs/procfs. The old algorithm should probably be used as fallback when sysfs is not mounted. > > Beside your test resuls I am also interested in usabillity.
