You are also invited to update your local lm_sensors2 CVS repository.
We've been fixing a couple of problems these last few days.

That's the least to say. Looks like you don't have a config file at all.
Make sure you have /etc/sensors.conf. If not, copy it from
lm_sensors2/etc/sensors.conf.eg. It should be a lot better (both labels
and values).

Then you want to play with divisors. Slower fans need increased
divisors. If it's very slow, you need a very big divisor. In this case
it would be fan2 (since fan1 already as max divisor and still doesn't
show any value).

Usually, temp1 is the chipset internal temperature, which is considered
to be your motherboard temperature. temp2 would be your CPU here, you
can run some compilation job or even cpuburn to make sure (the CPU
temperature will raise quickly). temp3 is probably not wired to
anything, 208 is a common value in this case.

Let us know how it goes.
