Here is how I did it:
- Install the RedHat 7.1 lm_sensors package: lm_sensors-2.5.5-3
- run sensors-detect. I'm pretty sure I just accepted all the defaults
here. It will ask you to modify your modules.conf & and init script.
- Install the gkrellm package from the second install CD
- launch gkrelllm
- right-click on the gkrellm frame and go into configure
- expand the builtins tree and click on sensors. If lm_sensors isn't
installed properly, you won't see a sensors menu item.
- On my board I enter 'cpu' in the space next to the line
"via-686a-isa-6000/temp1"
and 'mb' in the space next to the line "via-686a-isa-6000/temp2"
There is more detail in the man page. My fan stuff isn't working yet,
but I noticed today that it doesn't show up in the bios either. So
there may be something wrong with my fan or MB :-( It is a 3 wire lead
on the fan.
I'd really like to get KHealthcare working though. It can shutdown your
system if your temps or fan speeds get out of bounds. Important for AMD
chips!
