===========
|
||||
If the 'sensors' program does not report useful values for certain hardware
|
||||
monitoring inputs, the problem in most cases is not in lm_sensors. lm_sensors
|
||||
only reads values exported by the Linux kernel. Finding the driver responsible
|
||||
for exporting the particular hardware monitoring chip may help to diagnose
|
||||
the problem further. It is possible that there is a bug in the driver, however
|
||||
it is even more likely that the input is simply not used on your board.
|
||||
Nonetheless, identifying the driver may help you identify the piece of hardware
|
||||
that reports the bogus value.
|
||||
|
||||
This script finds the driver and kernel module responsible for exporting
|
||||
a hardware monitoring chip in sysfs. It should be given the chip name (as
|
||||
reported by the 'sensors' program) as argument. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
$ sensors
|
||||
thinkpad-isa-0000
|
||||
Adapter: ISA adapter
|
||||
fan1: 0 RPM

$ ./find-driver thinkpad-isa-0000

.SH DESCRIPTION
|

.B sensors-find-driver
|

Chip name is a string in the format
|
||||
.I <chip>-<bus>-<address>
|
||||
as reported by the
|
||||
.I sensors
|
||||
program. For example the chip name can be
|
||||
.I coretemp-isa-0000
|
||||
or
|
||||
.I acpitz-virtual-0
|
||||
.P
