From my understanding, you can use either the kernel drivers or lm-sensors. Many years ago, I sort of got bored installing lm-sensors and running the setup stuff all the time. I seem to recall, you have to do it again when you upgrade the kernel too. Anyway, I started using the kernel drivers and I've been doing it that way ever since. Hey, it works. It also gets updated with each kernel upgrade too. I'm all for what works. It works for me and seems it works for you as well so, yeppie!!! Given I been battling the flu for a few weeks, yeppie is about as good as it gets right now. I never could dance anyway. ;-) Oh, I listed my sensor stuff because Mick listed his. I thought we could compare what we each get. It looks the same to me. I just didn't see the need in posting it twice when odds are you will see both posts anyway. :-) Dale :-) :-)
