I need one for Centos 4.3 x32... with good documentation for installing.
Do they all use / require lm_sensors? Need help with that, too.
Thanks!  |

AFAIK, lm_sensors is the only method to extract the sensors data from the monitor chip and eeprom. For a frontend, I use GKRellM.
You can get temps from nVidia cards that support it without lm_sensors. And for harddrives, you can use hddtemp with the gkrellm-hddtemp plugin. The hddtemp daemon reads the drive temp from the SMART info, so it also does not require lm_sensors.

is that GRemlin hard to configure? 
I installed lm_sensors, but after running sensor detect I got lost. Wanted me to drop info into files I couldn't find... 
How come this kind of thing can't be built into the distribution? Is there one with it?
Thanks for the info. |

What monitoe chip do you have?
And GKRellM RPM can be downloaded from most of the 3rd party repositories such as DAG or FreshRPMS

Here is wat sensors-detect tells me to do:
| Code: | To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modules.conf:
#----cut here----
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#----cut here----
To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:
#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe it87
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended
#----cut here----
|
/etc/modules.conf didn't exist, so I made it with the correct data in it.
"some /etc/rc*"? Huh? Any file that looks like that? I have three files and several folders that fit the bill. I am adding it to /etc/rc.local for kicks. Will see how it goes. |
