Right, success, due entirely to flacycads. Your list of modules is spot on and 
definitely works mate. Brilliant. This is what sensors at the CLI now reports

$ sensors
eeprom-i2c-0-50
Adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at 5000
Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter
Memory type:            SDRAM DIMM SPD
SDRAM Size (MB):        256

eeprom-i2c-0-51
Adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at 5000
Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter
Memory type:            SDRAM DIMM SPD
SDRAM Size (MB):        256

via686a-isa-6000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Algorithm: ISA algorithm
CPU core:  +1.71 V  (min =  +1.98 V, max =  +2.49 V)   ALARM
+2.5V:     +0.17 V  (min =  +2.24 V, max =  +2.74 V)   ALARM
I/O:       +3.20 V  (min =  +2.95 V, max =  +3.62 V)
+5V:       +4.75 V  (min =  +4.47 V, max =  +5.49 V)
+12V:     +11.33 V  (min = +10.79 V, max = +13.18 V)
CPU Fan:  4623 RPM  (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2)
P/S Fan:     0 RPM  (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2)          ALARM
SYS Temp:  +25.0�C  (limit =  +45�C, hysteresis =  +40�C)
CPU Temp:  +45.4�C  (limit =  +60�C, hysteresis =  +55�C)
SBr Temp:  +24.6�C  (limit =  +65�C, hysteresis =  +60�C)

Whereas b4 I got nothing below the second memory module section, I now get all this 
data about the system. OK so it might not be quite correct yet (havent figured out the 
tuning bit yet) and doesnt seem to be able to find the system fan (the power supply 
fan doesnt send info back ) But I dont care. I've been trying to get this since mdk 
8.0 . The magic missing bits were these two lines in /etc/modules (or /etc/rc.local)

modprobe i2c-isa
modprobe via686a


for some reason - probably to do with some other hardware or module getting in the 
way, sensors-detect never ever suggested these bits to me.Still I dont care now. Any 
ideas how to make sense of this lot?  /etc/sensors.conf yeah? Anyone got an example, 
I've had a look, and ninety percent seems irrelevant to my mobo, or am I just being 
overly hopeful??

Again thanks flacycads, much appreciated.
