Flacycads, chees mate. I'm at work so I cant try this, but I never got this line ever...
modprobe via686a from doing sensors-detect. I did have a sensors section in gkrellm, but not any more, since I tried to get clever and remove all the relevant modules and reinstall them. Now I get zip about temps. Yes I definitely have lm_sensors instaled, sensors-detect and sensors both exist. I just cant seem to get it to work - your determination to help me get this working is _much_ appreciated mate!!! As for the stuff that should go in rc.local that isn't there, well thats the thing, thats what sensors-detect is telling me to put there - nothing, zip, null. I've literally copied the output from the terminal. I promise I'm as stumped as you over this one. What I intend to do this evening is whack your suggested lines on my box - I'll try them first to see if it goes bang ;o) - then reboot and have another go. I'll let you know how it goes. Again thanks so much for your efforts!
