Sensors, CPU & Fans Control

Kernel configuration

• You need to compile I2C_CHARDEV into the kernel.
• You need to compile the correct module in Hardware Monitoring and in I2C, the one corresponding to your chip. One good technique is to compile everything available, run sensors-detect, which will find the correct module. Then you can delete all the other modules and rebuild the kernel.
• On many ASUS motherboards you need to build the Asus atk0110 ACPI module. You don't need anything else but this module is not detected by sensors-detect; you must load it manually in the configuration file, see below.

Userspace

• Emerge lm-sensors.
• To get KDE 4 Plasma widget working, emerge ksysguard with the lm_sensors USE flag.

Configuration

• If you use the Asus atk0110 module, enter the following in /etc/cond.d/lm_sensors:

MODULE_0=asus_atk0110
