Actually, the problem is in libsensors / sensors.conf . gkrellm-2.2.10
(which has my patch integrated) checks
sensors_get_ignored() and only shows non ignored sensors. So there are 2
errors at the other side here:
1) You should put an ignore tempX for those 3 temps in /etc/sensors.conf
2) since only temp1_input shows up under sysfs, libsensors should return
0 from sensors_get_ignored() for the other sensors regardless of
of /etc/sensors.conf, as it simply isn't there
I believe that 2) and then 1) are the right solution here, I've written
a patch which does a testread of the sensor (attached) and only adds it
to the list of sensors if the testread succeeds, which fixes this with
k8temp. But that is not a good idea IMHO, then you're using dynamic data
for something static as the list of sensors in gkrellm is created upon
startup and from then on its static. The trial read is dynamic / not
reliable as sometimes one read can fail for one reason or the other and
the next read will succeed.
Bill please do NOT apply this patch its for testing only. Rudolf, can
you give the patch a run, it should fix your k8temp problem and read on ...

A bit strange this, yes. Probably again you haven't told libsensors to
ignore fan4 for this chip in /etc/sensors.conf, neither has libsensors
come up with the idea todo this itself. Can you try that and / or the
attached patch to see if that helps?
Rudolf + Jean, would it be a good idea to write a patch for libsensors
to make it automaticly set features not found in sysfs to ignore?

Hans
