Okay, I've done some googling, and found a few things.  According to
Gateway's web site[1], the motherboard in your box is an Intel
D945GPBG1.  The lm-sensors web site[2] has a config file[3] for the
Intel D945GCLF.  These should be close enough to get things to work.
Read the man page for sensors.conf(5), and maybe sensors3.conf(5) to
learn where it should go.

My understanding is that lm-sensors is not a kernel module _per
se_.  Rather, it talks to modules already in the kernel in order
to read the data out of the various hardware info & control chips.
So it wouldn't show up in an lsmod listing.

Hope this helps.
