IT8720F chip is not supported by it87 kernel modul

Hi SWmail,

Unfortunately the kernel is currently frozen for Jaunty's final release, but I imagine this should qualify for a stable release update. I'm pasting the upstream git commit id for the kernel team to reference. Thanks.

    hwmon: (it87) Add support for the ITE IT8720F

    Allow it87.c to handle IT8720 chipset like IT8718 in order to

    retrieve voltage, temperatures and fans speed from sensors

    tools. Also updating the related documentation.

Seems a cherry-picks is necessary for SRU

I will have this issue

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-jaunty.git;a=commit;h=6799cc570533293c65966478283a756a12dab57b

Coincidentally I got this chip in my build server and therefor I can confirm it is working.

Accepted linux into jaunty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

modprobe i87 && sensors works! Thanks!

Enabling proposed and updating relevant packages solved problem for me.

After running sensors-detect In Karmic I get: Found unknown chip with ID 0x8720.
No voltages temps and fan speeds for my motherboard.
I consider this bug as not fixed.

The task you reopened was about the Jaunty kernel, not the karmic one. Closing again.

setting top level task to Fix Released as it was overlooked.
