Acer Veriton 5500G

Acer Veriton 5500G

[Marvin Pascual]

Hello,

I installed lm_sensors-2.7.0-2mdk and it's related
packages on an [1]Acer Veriton 5500G PC running on
[2]Mandrake Linux 9.1.  I run "sensors-detect" and
answers the right information on what I believe are
the right values but I wasn't able to make my
lm_sensors work right.

I hope you can help me isolate this problem so that I
could monitor the temperature of my PC.  I'll be using
phpSysInfo then.

Please see below some of the output of the modules
that are currently installed in my system.

Thank you very much in advance.

Marvin

you don't have any sensor chip drivers loaded.
Whatever sensor chip you have we don't support. see FAQ.

Sir,

What could be the sensor chip for my Acer Veriton
5500G PC and the available driver for it in GNU/Linux?

Thanks in advance.

God bless...

Marvin

We don't know what your chip is. Maybe if you still have Windows
installed, some Windows tool (http://mbm.livewiredev.com/) can tell you.
If this sensor chip is ever supported, it will most probably be by our
package (i2c+lm_sensors) (but it is not for now, it seems).

We don't trust in any god here. We trust in source code availibility ;)

My workstation is running Mandrake Linux 9.1 only.

I'm not really sure if the chipset of my workstation
is 'Intel® 845G' but it is written in
http://global.acer.com/products/desktop/vt5500g.htm 
The manual  of my workstation is located at
'http://csd.acer.com.tw/acer/URMUL1.NSF/1af87a750eeeb70f0825628f006e0bfc/f04d0fee69862b7448256bae0014c344/$FILE/User%2520Guide%205500.pdf'
if you don't mind viewing/downloading from that site.

Thanks in advance.

Marvin

Nothing really interesting in this document, apart from the fact that
the sensors chipset must be on the Intel ICH4 bus, which isn't supported
by LM Sensors 2.7.0. You'll have to wait for next release (2.8.0 in some
weeks), unless you want to play with CVS (I doubt it).

Oh.  I don't usually play packages under CVS.  Maybe,
I'll have to wait for the stable version of 2.8.0.

Thanks again.

Good luck.
