If you experience any problems not listed here, do not hesitate -to mail us (see http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FeedbackAndSupport). -But read this file and doc/FAQ first, please! - -============================================================================ -These are current problems with specific programs and drivers. -In general, please don't send us mail telling us you have the -same problem!! Do send us mail if you have a fix!! - - -================================ -Asus boards - as99127f support (w83781d driver) - -Several problems. Asus will not release a datasheet. -Support was developed - and tweaked - with experimentation and user feedback. -These will not be fixed unless we get a datasheet. -If you have problems, please lobby Asus to release a datasheet. -Unfortunately, several others have done so, without success. -Please do not send mail to us asking for better as99127f support. -We have done the best we can without a datasheet. -The changes we do make to please some people generally makes -things worse for people with other types of motherboard. -Please do not send mail to the author or the sensors group asking for -a datasheet or ideas on how to convince Asus. -See doc/chips/w83781d for more information. - -================================ -i2c/smbus lockup (i2c-piix4 and i2c-ali15x3 drivers) - -Sometimes the i2c bus will get hung and the driver can't un-hang it. -If this is caused by a hung sensor chip (mtp008 and w83781d chips may -be culprits), only a reboot or even power cycle will clear it -(if the SDRAM eeproms are on the hung i2c bus, the machine probably won't -boot until the power is cycled). -If there are bugs in the i2c bus drivers, or improvements we can make to -error recovery, we don't know what they are. - -On the ASUS P5A motherboard, there are several reports that -the SMBus will hang and this can only be resolved by -powering off the computer. It appears to be worse when the board -gets hot, for example under heavy CPU load, or in the summer. -There may be electrical problems on this board. -On the P5A, the W83781D sensor chip is on both the ISA and -SMBus. Therefore the SMBus hangs can generally be avoided -by accessing the W83781D on the ISA bus only. - -================================ -IBM Thinkpad laptops and sensors-detect -See the file README.thinkpad - - -================================ -mtp008 support - -This chip does not always respond, as evidenced by 'XX' fields -in i2cdump. Results in non-detection by sensors-detect and/or -the mtp008 driver, or periodic bad readings. -Cause unknown - perhaps a bug in the chip, or the chip -not meeting the i2c specifications. - - -================================ -sis5595 (sis5595 and i2c-sis5595 drivers) - -These drivers latch on to many non-sis5595 chips which -do not support sensors, i2c bus, or both. -This is because SiS uses the same PCI ID for several different chips. -This will have to be fixed by us to recognize these other chips. - -Right now, the driver tries -writing the base addresses (using the force_addr=0x.... parameter to modprobe), -it does not work for some machines (dmesg message is "force address failed"). -Either some chips do not support sensors, or there is some undocumented -lock bit for the base address registers. - -Also, the temperature reading in sis5595 is usually wrong. -Different formulas are required for different versions of -the chip and different motherboards. diff --git a/CHANGES b/CHANGES index 8e7dcb58..8f900bcd 100644 --- a/CHANGES +++ b/CHANGES @@ -2,6 +2,7 @@ lm_sensors CHANGES file ----------------------- SVN HEAD + File BUGS: Delete File i2c-dev.h: Support I2C block reads with specified length All bus modules and documentation: Delete All chip modules and documentation: Delete
