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. > > Thanks for testing and reporting, I'll push the patch upstream. > Great.
