lm_sensors can't find my Dell Latitude d510 sensors! :(
Hey there. I'm lost here. I have this Dell Latitude D510 and lm_sensors won't work together...
I'll post my info and hope someone can help me make it work.
If you check the lm_sensors page it says that my SMBus is fully compatible.
sensors-detect spits out:
Code:
Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 10c0
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively): y
Client found at address 0x08
Client found at address 0x30
Client found at address 0x32
Client found at address 0x50
Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... Success!

Probing for `DDC monitor'... Failed!
Probing for `Maxim MAX6900'... Failed!

and
Code:
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted):
Detects correctly:
* Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 10c0'
Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x50
Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8)
* Bus `SMBus I801 adapter at 10c0'
Busdriver `i2c-i801', I2C address 0x52
Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8)
All i can get is eeprom!! Worse, i load the modules pointed above (i2c-i801 and eeprom) but even eeprom doesnt work! It returns:
No sensors found!
BTW my kernel is 2.6.13-gentoo-r5, every single thing in i2c and hardware monitoring is M.
