lm_sensors conf

system kernel is "cfg'd by me" 2.6.22 for x86_64
sensors version 2.10.4 with libsensors version 2.10.4
gkrellm 2.3.0

Has anyone got an lm_sensors conf file (or know what i2c module i should
load?)that will get voltages and fans on an Intel DG33TL board? I get
fans but no voltages. I use gkrellm and it shows 4 core temps, and 4 fan
speeds , but no voltages. gkrellm actually shows the fan speeds about
right(I'm guessing) but sensors shows 3 fan speeds x10 too high.
Also, how do i get lm_sensors or gkrellm to show the nvidia gpu temp for a
6200LE card? sensors sees the nvidia and sensors-detect finds and scans
nvidia #0 #1 and #2 and seems to find a client at addresds 0x4a and the
max6650 at 0x4b but the nvidia gpu temp doesnt show up.
Any pointers appreciated.
Thanks
Eric

Most likely the config file is written for only two fans, copy the lines fro
fan2 to fan3 on the /etc/sensors.conf and check if the cpu core voltage is
defined too, it can be that the CPU has one centralized core voltage and it
can't be accessed by individual core.

At the lm-sensors' homepage they used to have config files for different
chipsets, I would suggest you take a look there in case you don't solve it
yourself.

Not all nVidia GPUs do supply the temperature, it can be that the sensor was
dropped in the LE version to lessen the price.

A good way to see if your GPU provides the temperature reading is to run
nvidia-settings tool that is part of the binary driver, if it don't list any
temperature, then your GPU don't support it, no matter what you do.

I have a DG33BU motherboard and only get 2 temps. No fans, no voltages.
2.6.24 for i586 lmsensors 2.10.5 gkrellm 2.3.1
(Ie later versions seem worse not better:-)

Note-- I am getting 70 degrees while compiling the kernel. Is that too
high? Does it indicate a cooling problem?

Your running a dual core? 70 is much too high. Most likely your heat sink isnt
on correctly. My temps in the 50's are with the system at peak load running 4
copes (1 per core) of optimized seti@home and that could be improved if i get
a better heat sink/fan solution.

Thats part of the problem, i cant identify which sections of the sensors.conf
file apply to my board

I took a look at that, no Intel stuff there

The gpu temp shows up with the mandriva kernel, but not on my custom config'd
2.6.26

I'll look at that - didnt know the tool was there - thanks
