[lm-sensors] CPU temperature(s) of Conroe

[Rudolf Marek]

Hello Ulrich,

The LM-78 is a misdetection. Please try latest sensors-detect (check the devices 
page on our web)

I bet you have W83627DHG, you will need a patch for this chip. Here is 
preliminary patch:

Yes

> b) Is this implemented in lm-sensors?

Yes but not yet in kernel. You will need latest SVN snapshot of lm-sensors (make 
user_install) and also this set of patches:
http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2006-October/018100.html

(some of the patch files are posted TWICE, please use the latest version - click 
on mail thread to check what is latest)

CHeck above. You will have more than one sensor ;)

> Thank you for reply. If you need further info, please let me know.

Please let me know if it works OK, and David too.
