This would make sense. David, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe
that you can actually write to the files (simply using "cat 1 2 >
/proc/sys/dev/sensors/via686a-isa-6000/in1" for example). So, if
"sensors -s" fails, this must be because of libsensors *thinking* it
cannot write.

David, maybe we already asked you and I'm sorry for that, but I can't
remember (it's been so long):

1* Are you using i2c & lm_sensors 2.7.0 or CVS?

2* Are you using the mkpatch method or the traditional separated
compilation tree method?

Thanks.
