lm_sensors2 cvs 04/29/04 @ 6:00 pm EST

The temperature and voltage monitoring are working just as they have.

For fans, it definitely is strange how this board is handling the fans' 
invertedness, but this cvs seems to have fixed the problem. All the pwm 
files say "255 1" before any of the values are changed.

I can echo new pwm values to pwm1 and pwm2 in the proc entry, and I can 
hear the speeds change. However, no fan speeds are updated; overflow 
flags are still shown when pwm values below 228 are issued and the 
fan#_status file displays "4". Whenever there is an overflow flag, the 
speed is reported as -1.

Pwmconfig is working a lot better now. It creates a correlation list, 
but only for pwm values 255 and 240, then reports "-1" for everything 
else. Strangely, depending on the fan divisor, those 2 correlation 
values either make sense (the first is larger than the second) and 
sometimes it doesn't (the second value is larger).

Here is the pwmconfig output when the fan_div file says "8 8 8"

Found the following PWM controls:
   pc87366-isa-ecc0/pwm1
   pc87366-isa-ecc0/pwm2
   pc87366-isa-ecc0/pwm3

Found the following fan sensors:
   pc87366-isa-ecc0/fan1     current speed: 3750 RPM
   pc87366-isa-ecc0/fan2     current speed: 2222 RPM
   pc87366-isa-ecc0/fan3     current speed: 0 ... skipping!

Warning!!! This program will stop your fans, one at a time,
for approximately 5 seconds each!!!
This may cause your processor temperature to rise!!!
If you do not want to do this hit control-C now!!!

There is either no fan connected to the output of pc87366-isa-ecc0/pwm3,
or the connected fan has no rpm-signal connected to one of
the tested fan sensors. (Note: not all motherboards have
the pwm outputs connected to the fan connectors,

Did you see/hear a fan stopping during the above test (n)?

Testing is complete.
Please verify that all fans have returned to their normal speed.

Other than this issue, I don't see any other problems.

In order to play with fanconfig, I want to be able to see my cpu 
temperature (so I don't burn it out when I turn off the fans for too 
long), so would you know how easy/difficult it would be to get the chip 
to record the cpu temperature the "normal" way, considering it is 
already being monitored using the chip's other channels? If this will 
require soldering, please let me know.

Thanks!
