 Thanks for bringing this to light.

 True. I enabled debug to get my CPU fan sensor to get the correct
divisor. On my earlier Mandriva(kernel 2.6.17-mdv) setup, it always set
the divisor to 4 and my monitors would go berserk. Back then I changed
the sensors.conf to correct that but this time (with kernel 2.6.19) it
just worked so I got interested.
