It seems the firmware provided by Gigabyte just does not expose these sensors via WMI. Therefore this driver can't find it. Unfortunately there is not much that can be done about this from the perspective of this driver.
Hello Thank you for creating the Gigabyte WMI Driver to allow some Gigabyte customers/users to obtain sensor readings under linux. Tried this under Manjaro, an Arch based distribution.
Here is the full output requested describing the motherboard details:
I first git cloned it87 from a1wong/it87, added the relevant kernel parameter ( acpi_enforce_resources=lax) edited modprobe config (options it87 force_id=0x8686).
Sensors_detect finds the following with default options (this is without loading the linux-gigabyte-driver):
The reading are imperfect, with some way off. After scouring the internet, I came up with the following config file for lm_sensors (use at your own risk, internet, it is just a best effort by some random dude, no warranty implied 😉)
Then I tried to use the linux-gigabyte-wmi driver available here. It compiled fine.
After triying to load it like so:
sudo insmod ./gigabyte-wmi.ko force_load=1
I get:
journalctl:
sudo lsmod | grep wmi
After running sensors_detect I get a different output:
Resulting sensors output:
**Somehow chip ITE IT8792E is no longer detected now.
Best I can tell, sensors output does not change though.
There is no mention of gigabyte-wmi in the sensors-detect default output.**
Am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance for reading this report and for any insight you may have.
