I have successfully configured the lm_sensors package to see the sensors on my motherboard. I added the following to rc.local: # I2C adapter drivers #modprobe i2c-viapro modprobe i2c-isa # I2C chip drivers #modprobe adm1021 #modprobe eeprom modprobe via686a # Configure the actual sensors modprobe sensors sensors -s The commented out lines were suggested by sensors-detect, but turned out to provide misleading or wrong information. With the lines as above, I can enter the command "sensors" and see: via686a-isa-6000 Adapter: ISA adapter Algorithm: ISA algorithm CPU core: +1.74 V (min = +2.08 V, max = +2.49 V) ALARM I/O: +3.28 V (min = +2.93 V, max = +3.62 V) +5V: +4.87 V (min = +4.75 V, max = +5.24 V) +12V: +11.57 V (min = +11.39 V, max = +12.58 V) CPU Fan: 4591 RPM (min = 0 RPM, div = 2) P/S Fan: 0 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) SYS Temp: +24.60C (limit = +500C, hysteresis = +600C) CPU Temp: +40.50C (limit = +500C, hysteresis = +600C) SBr Temp: +21.50C (limit = +500C, hysteresis = +600C) All of which agree with the values I see in the BIOS. However, glms displays all temperatures as absolute zero! (-279 C) It displays all fan RPMs as zero. Interestingly all voltages are also -279. Running glms_applet from a console, all *appears* to work OK except for the nonsense readings I see on the applet.
I'll look into it. Read ya, Phil
I've spent some time on it over the weekend. The problem is that glms is probably no longer actively maintained and therefore has not been updated to the new lm_sensors 2.5.x style. Therefore the 'fix' would require a complete rewrite of the backend data aquisiton engine which would take considerable time. If i happen to have a spare day in the next two weeks i'll fix it, but no promises here. I'd rather recommend to use one of the other tools listed on this site: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/cvs/lm_sensors2/doc/useful_addresses.html Read ya, Phil
OK, took some time yesterday and today to get this thing fixed. The whole lm.c has basically changed and is now using a more general approach to data aquisition which should work better for most people as it doesn't rely on the actual chipset anymore. Read ya, Phil
