Sensors-detect finds: Driver `f71882fg' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus, address 0x600 Chip `Fintek F71882FG/F71883FG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) Driver `k8temp' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * Chip `AMD K8 thermal sensors' (confidence: 9) I don't have the f71882fg driver although I am thinking that is the one I need. I'm not sure what the k8 does - perhaps you're right - it just doesn't work. Dick
