Sorry, I think we're not understanding each other :) Does the PCH samples the values directly from the probes? Or is it an interface for the real monitoring chip (most likely the superio chip)? In the latter case it might be possible to access directly the monitoring hardware using another driver (e.g. w83627ehf, lm80, etc.), thus racing against the PCI driver. Did I make myself clear? thanks, Luca -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
