Thanks. Do I have to add this line to my /etc/rc.local or something to

the latest NVIDIA beta driver.

Yes, you have to add it to some init script, otherwise you'll lose the
device at reboot. Now the problem is that the bus number (4 in your
case) could indeed change over time. And once again nVidia make it hard
for us by not giving unique names to their I2C adapters, so we can't
even select by name. All you can do is hope that the numbers won't
change.

WRT to the output itself, I doubt that your card has more than one fan,
so you can probably add ignore statements for fan2, fan3 and fan4 to
your configuration file. The rest looks reasonable.

Interesting. I exited my X and back to bash/console, and GeForce 8800
GT's sensors results are different now.

temp3:        -5.0°C  (low  =  -5.0°C, high =  -5.0°C)  ALARM

Is that normal especially for the temperature readings?

This is not "normal", but still expected: the I2C adapters are driven by
your X nvidia driver, which gets inactive when you get to the console.
This is a design flaw, the I2C buses should be working all the time,
blame nvidia for it.

Thjanks again. I assume this problem has been like this for years. :(

Hello again and happy new year!

$ sudo echo adt7473 0x2e > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-4/new_device
-bash: /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-4/new_device: Permission denied

I assume it changed. How do I make this work so I can see my NVIDIA 
GeForce 8800 GT video's card's sensors?

Thank you in advance. :)
