But even when I change the via686a-isa-6000 folder to have root write 
permissions it doesn't work.

ls -l /proc/sys/dev/sensors
total 0
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Jun  2 10:07 chips
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root            0 Jun  2 09:49 via686a-isa-6000

So still get: 
sensors -s
via686a-isa-6000: Can't access /proc file for writing;
Run as root?

I don't think the permission is staying either. Would devfs have something to 
do with this?
