Hi people!
I've got this MS-5169 board which has ali chips all over it. Although i've already patched the kernel and managed to unhide the M7101 PMU thing, the sensors still dont work. Actually, all i can get sensors-detect to detect are eeprom (useless) sensors.
I'm using Slackware 10 (updated libs, udev and stuff), kernel 2.6.11 and the lastest lm_sensors package i could find in linuxpackages.net.
I've compiled i2c_dev as built-in and i2c_isa, i2c_sensor, i2c_ali15x3 as modules.
Also, APM is disabled on BIOS and kernel ACPI stuff is just marvelous.
Could somebody help me out please?
