Also, for Tyan boards which contain both a -Super I/O chip and a second i2c-only Winbond chip (often a W83782D), -using this driver will avoid i2c address conflicts and complex -initialization that were required in the w83781d driver. - -If you really want i2c accesses for these Super I/O chips, -use the w83781d driver. However this is not the preferred method -now that this ISA driver has been developed. - -Technically, the w83627thf does not support a VID reading. However, it's -possible or even likely that your mainboard maker has routed these signals -to a specific set of general purpose IO pins (the Asus P4C800-E is one such -board). The w83627thf driver now interprets these as VID. If the VID on -your board doesn't work, first see doc/vid in the lm_sensors package. If -that still doesn't help, email us at lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org. - -For further information on this driver see the w83781d driver -documentation. - |
