The usual way is to completely remove the formulas (to get the "raw" readings), and then compare two points with another software (BIOS or Windows). Generaly, you'll note the temperature of an idle system and the temperature of a kernel-compiling (of whatever) system. Don't forget to run "sensors -s" after changing sensors.conf. This is a quite hard job, and it's harder even to be accurate, but that the only way you can get the right values without knowledge on hardware. > I also couldn't configure the lm_sensors so that pwm was accessible > to control my fan speed. I don't know what you do mean with "PWM", but know that our drivers mostly allow for reading from the sensors. I don't think you can expect to *set* the fan speed (though you can set the *limit* it shouldn't cross). Hope that helps. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
