Many thanks for the prompt reply Jean :) I went with your recommended patches for starters. Had to use -p3 (not in expected directory?). The build is for Slackware64 13.1, upgraded to kernel 2.6.38.7 running on an ASUS PBH67-V motherboard which has a Nuvoton NCT6776F -- as the newly installed lm_sensors 3.3.1 sensors-detect now reports :) These are the download and patch commands used: gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 38F02FC8 cd /tmp \ && rm -fr lm_sensors-3.3.1 \ && wget http://dl.lm-sensors.org/lm-sensors/releases/lm_sensors-3.3.1.tar.bz2 \ && wget http://dl.lm-sensors.org/lm-sensors/releases/lm_sensors-3.3.1.tar.bz2.sig \ && gpg --verify lm_sensors-3.3.1.tar.bz2.sig \ && tar -jxvf lm_sensors-3.3.1.tar.bz2 \ && cd lm_sensors-3.3.1 \ && wget --output-document=patch_5991 \ 'http://www.lm-sensors.org/changeset/5991?format=diff&new=5991' \ && wget --output-document=patch_5992 \ 'http://www.lm-sensors.org/changeset/5992?format=diff&new=5992' \ && wget --output-document=patch_5993 \ 'http://www.lm-sensors.org/changeset/5993?format=diff&new=5993' \ && wget --output-document=patch_5999 \ 'http://www.lm-sensors.org/changeset/5999?format=diff&new=5999' \ && patch -p3 < patch_5991 \ && patch -p3 < patch_5992 \ && patch -p3 < patch_5993 \ && patch -p3 < patch_5999 BTW, make PREFIX=/tmp/tmp installed to /usr/local After installing to /usr/local the following symlink was required to allow GKrellM to start: ln -s /usr/local/lib/libsensors.so.4 /usr/lib64/libsensors.so.4 Best Charles _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
