The updated script is available here:
http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/prog/detect/sensors-detect

Please give it a try, voluntarily forgetting the "-" on "su -" this
time. It should work :)

Whaou. Do you really have 2GB memory on your laptop?

That's what I expected... Was still worth trying anyway.

Well, yes, something I'm really interested in is the EEPROM you have at
0x57. Recent Vaios have a proprietary EEPROM here, I've been telling
about it some times before on the list already. The problem here is that
sensors-detect did not detect it as such, while it is supposed to do so.
This means that your EEPROM differs in some way from the other ones I've
seen so far. Could you send me (private) a dump of the EEPROM? I'd
really like to take a closer look.

To do so, run, as root:
  i2cdump 0 0x57 b > eeprom-jay.out
And send me that file.

If you want me to see wether you may have other interesting devices
(temperature or whatever) on your I2C bus, you can run:
  i2cdetect 0 > i2cbus-jay.out
And send me that file too.

Thanks a lot!
