You should try to use lm_sensors - there are some success reports about this board: http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg29514.html In fact, most desktop machines do not support access to thermal or fan information via ACPI (because the code for this is not present in DSDT); and even if it is supported, the capabilities compared to lm_sensors are reduced (e.g., most hardware monitoring chips support voltage monitoring, which is not available through ACPI interfaces). --Signature=_Sat__5_Mar_2005_14_22_45_+0300_ukh8o+qBB321Ylyr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCKZaIW82GfkQfsqIRAtncAJ9fX3mprCWQuJNBXL39BIdaZBiZ0ACfbpQ3 RkCltxZRu+mFGEOM0v8GJyQ= =El0P -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Sat__5_Mar_2005_14_22_45_+0300_ukh8o+qBB321Ylyr-- ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
