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?
