It reminds me that I once had a similar problem while trying lm_sensors (2.6.x I think) on a system which has an old Matrox Mystique card. Sensors detect took as long as ten minutes (IIRC) to complete, due to a very, very slow scan of the Matrox I2C bus. So there may be something to be fixed there. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
