MacBook Air Gains LM_Sensors Support
There hasn't been a new LM_Sensors release since May when version 3.0.2 was released. Since then there has been quite a bit of new work going on within this free software project that provides system sensor monitoring on Linux. Intel Core i7 monitoring support was added back in August to LM_Sensors, for example. Today a set of five patches for Apple hardware has appeared on the LM_Sensors mailing list. In the last patch, LM_Sensors support for the Apple MacBook Air was added. This allows the accelerometer, back-light, and thermal sensor to be used on systems with the latest LM_Sensors code. This small MacBook Air patch can be found here.
