lm sensors

{{anchor|ThinkPad}}

During 2001/2004, the lm_sensors package was not recommended for use on IBM ThinkPads due to potential EEPROM corruption issues on some models when aggressively probing for I²C devices. This has since been dealt with, and the separate README file dedicated to ThinkPads was removed in 2007.

In 2013, the {{code|sensors-detect}} command of lm-sensors began disrupting the gamma correction settings of some laptop display screens. This occurs while it is probing the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware monitoring devices. Probing of these devices was disabled by default.{{cite web |author=ArchWiki Contributors |date=4 May 2018 |title=lm_sensors |website=ArchWiki |url=https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lm_sensors#Laptop_screen_issues_after_running_sensors-detect |accessdate=18 May 2018}}{{better source needed|date=February 2021}}{{cite web |first=Michael |last=Larabel |date=26 September 2013 |title=LM-Sensors Sensor-Detect Is Causing Hardware Issues |website=Phoronix |url=https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTQ3MDE |accessdate=18 May 2018}}{{cite web |last=Delvare |first=Jean |title=lm-sensors |website=lm-sensors.org |date=5 September 2013 |url=http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150906040614/http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki |archive-date=6 September 2015}} Also available at {{cite web |title=lm_sensors |website=HWMon Wiki |url=https://hwmon.wiki.kernel.org/lm_sensors |accessdate=18 May 2018}}{{cite web |first1=Andrew |last1=Toskin |first2=Guenter |last2=Roeck |date=2017 |title=Issue #17: Add list of risk factors to documentation |website=GitHub |url=https://github.com/groeck/lm-sensors/issues/17 |accessdate=18 May 2018}}
