I have tried your sensors.conf. I needed to change VCore, mine, in bios, is
1.65V. But temp1 is not displayed when running sensors. However there are 3
files for temp1 in "/sys/devices/platform/i2c-9191/9191-6000". I dn't
understand !

FYI, I have modified my 800 in fanless motherboard (Zalman NB47J). It's why
I want to monitor temperature.

If I don't need a big electronic equipment I'd like ;-)

thanks you for your help :-)

FWIW, I am running the 2.6.14 kernel?
