Hi

I am interested in this, but I only have LKML at work.  Mind
sending me all the changes to 2.5.66 as one bulk patch?

Also, I did some initial patch to get w83781d support in, but
it very rough.  I will try to get to doing it according to your
'How to convert i2c adapter drivers into good kernel code' ...
Who do I sent it to if completed ?


Thanks,

Celsius can go negative, which may be yucky
and hard to test. Kelvin generally doesn't
suffer this problem. (yeah, yeah, quantum stuff...)

Getting temperature display into "top" would sure
be nice, but not if that means requiring a library
that almost nobody has installed. It's good to give
apps a simple way to get CPU temperature, including
per-CPU data for SMP systems when available.

Info about sensor quality would be good. For example,
my CPU measures temperature in 4-degree increments
and is not calibrated.

Agree w.r.t. ACPI /proc switching to sysfs. Just a matter of someone
sitting down and making the changes.

It is still not clear to me if libpower should subsume libsensors, or
vice versa, or keep them separate. There are areas of overlap, as well
as significant areas of non-overlap.
