Super I/O SMSC SCH5017 on Tyan Toledo i3100 (S5207)

[ticket]

Hi Developers,

I am trying to get sensor information on this Tyan board, on which Tyan only supports M$ Windoze OS, therefore they are not providing a config file for lm-sensors and linux.

The sensors-detect detects the Super I/O chip but it is not recognized. This is the output from from sensors-detect:

Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no): Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f

Looks like you have something compatible to the dme1737. Get the latest version of the lm-sensors package (2.10.4) and the latest released kernel (2.6.23.xx) and use the dme1737 module.

Can you rerun sensors-detect 2.10.4? Are you sure this is a sch5017?

Hmm, same device ID as the DME1737, right? We had a report that the dme1737 driver recognizes it as such:

This ticket is getting old, I'd like to close it soon. Juerg, can you please clarify the status of SCH5017 support? Is it OK to just claim we support it, or are there actual differences between the SCH5017 and DME1737?
