[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#640052: Bug#640052: xfce4-sensors-plugin: No hdd temperature

[Mike Edwards]

Looked at the patch you provided to upstream.  There's a small typo -
the test checks for generation=2 || (generation=2 && major>=5).  The
first generation check should be 3:
    if (strcmp(p_uname->sysname, "Linux")==0 && (generation>=3 ||
(generation==2 && major>=5)))

With that small change, I was able to see the hdd temperature sensor
again.

Thanks again, Lionel!
