Description Thorsten Kukuk 2005-08-22 13:13:50 UTC

The sensors patch for vt1211 is currently disabled. 
Attached is a new patch which works for me with current kernel-source 
from autobuild. Please update the patch and reenable it for x86, the 
sensors package depends on it for VIA EPIA boards.

New vt1211 patch

Driver extracted from patch from http://www.epialinux.org/drivers.html

Comment 2 Olaf Kirch 2005-08-22 13:52:51 UTC

This is non-trivial. The driver isn't uptodate wrt current driver model 
functions. When trying to compile it, I get 57 warnings that say 
"initialization from incompatible pointer type" 
 
These come from the initialization of various sysfs and driver model related 
data structures and function pointers. So ignoring these warnings probably 
means that the driver will just oops and/or malfunction when using with 
the current sysfs code. 
 
Please ask the epialinux folks to update their driver and submit it 
upstream.

Closing as WONTFIX for now. Please reopen if you receive a working driver 
from the epialinux folks.
