Oh OK, looks like I misunderstood your exact problem in the first place.

At least this means that your distribution handles things by itself, which is always more comfortable. However, this may also mean that Mandrake did some changes to our code, which may explain it doesn't work as usual. Which configuration file are you editing exactly? The standard configuration file location and name is /etc/sensors.conf. You may use "strace sensors -s" to trace the execution of "sensors -s" and see exactly where sensors gets its configuration data. Jean
