In reference to ticket 1719: I'm sorry if I'm making a nuisance of myself but I guess I must be being obtuse. The various documentation says that you have to be careful to only use certain version of lm_sensors with the various versions of the kernel. I'm using an Asus A7N8X which has a w83l785ts on it, apparently the fix came in a version after the one that Mandrake considers to work with my kernel. I'm using 2.6.3-7mdk kernel and lm_sensors-2.8.4-2mdk.i586. I got an rpm of lm_sensors-2.8.7-4mdk.i586.rpm and it's kicking the procfs/sysfs thing. Is my only real solution to upgrade my lm_sensors AND my kernel? [root at HappyTrout Downloads]# sensors -s asb100-i2c-4-2d: Can't access procfs/sysfs file for writing; Run as root?
