Subject: [lm-sensors] [PATCH 17/44] [PATCH] HWMON: Improve the help text for
Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 18:27:43 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1151000949579-git-send-email-greg@kroah.com> (raw)

From: Jean Delvare <khali at linux-fr.org>

Improve the help text for CONFIG_HWMON to let the users know how they
pick the right hardware monitoring driver(s) for their system.

Also fix a couple typos in the related documentation file and improve
some parts a bit.

 2) run sensors-detect script, it will tell you what modules you need to load.
 3) load them and run "sensors" command, you should see some results.
