Yes, I see that it's attractive to use a single w83627ehf.c driver. For an ACPI driver, we'd have to build a list of PNP IDs, and possibly information about which methods read which information. That's certainly more work. On the other hand, the ACPI driver would avoid the synchronization issues that started this whole thread.

Maybe Asus didn't hook up those readings on the board. I would guess that PC Probe doesn't expose the VSB or battery voltage either. I'm sure you've seen these: http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2005-October/014050.html http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/AsusFormulaHacking Looks like nobody took up the challenge, though :-) It looks fun to play with, if only I had the time and hardware.
