Jean, The Motherbowrd is from VIAPRO, it's similar to kt400. The sensors-detect output is given below : >> This chip doesn't have hardware monitoring capabilities. So the values >> you get may be from a different chip. Oh, but i see only W83697F on the motherboard. WS5K#sensors-detect This program will help you determine which I2C/SMBus modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. You need to have i2c and lm_sensors installed before running this program. Also, you need to be `root', or at least have access to the /dev/i2c-* files, for most things. If you have patched your kernel and have some drivers built in, you can safely answer NO if asked to load some modules. In this case, things may seem a bit confusing, but they will still work. It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. IF THIS IS AN IBM THINKPAD, PRESS CTRL-C NOW! IBM Thinkpads have a severely broken i2c/SMBus implementation, just scanning the bus will break your Thinkpad forever! If this is a non-Thinkpad IBM, we still suggest you press CTRL+C. We have had users reporting system breakage on other IBM systems as well. We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. You do not need any special privileges for this. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): YES Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `i2c-viapro' for device 00:11.0: VIA Technologies VT8233 VLink South Bridge Probe succesfully concluded. We will now try to load each adapter module in turn. Module `i2c-viapro' already loaded. If you have undetectable or unsupported adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script. To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. If it is built-in into your kernel, you can safely skip this. i2c-dev is already loaded. We are now going to do the adapter probings. Some adapters may hang halfway through; we can't really help that. Also, some chips will be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. That often includes address 0x69 (clock chip).

(skipping family) Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `w83781d' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus Via Pro adapter at 0400' (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) Busdriver `i2c-viapro', I2C address 0x29 (and 0x48 0x49) Chip `Winbond W83782D' (confidence: 8) Driver `eeprom' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Bus `SMBus Via Pro adapter at 0400' (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) Busdriver `i2c-viapro', I2C address 0x50 Chip `SPD EEPROM' (confidence: 8) I will now generate the commands needed to load the I2C modules. Sometimes, a chip is available both through the ISA bus and an I2C bus. ISA bus access is faster, but you need to load an additional driver module for it. If you have the choice, do you want to use the ISA bus or the I2C/SMBus (ISA/smbus)? To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to /etc/modules.conf: #----cut here---- # I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev #----cut here---- To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file: #----cut here---- # I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-viapro # I2C chip drivers modprobe w83781d modprobe eeprom # sleep 2 # optional /usr/local/bin/sensors -s # recommended #----cut here---- WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until it's done. Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors for initialization at boot time. WS5K# regards, Sukhdee[
