There's a little extra note to this one. I have an Asus A7V8X, and it
uses the new Via VT8233A bridge chip, PCI device code 1106:3177. This
chipset is only supported by the 2.7.0 version of lm-sensors; so you must
do an 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge lm-sensors'. This version of lm-sensors
also requires either a patched kernel (gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r1 or greater,
lolo-sources-2.4.20.1 or greater, or xfs-sources-2.4.20_pre4 or greater) or
you have to install the ~x86 version of the i2c ebuild as well.
Paulo, if you have the gentoo, lolo, or xfs kernels installed, you should
be fine with just installing the ~x86 lm-sensors. Otherwise, you should
probably do 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge i2c' first.
