    No I'm afraid nothing as exciting as trying to run Farcry . (I mounted the disk without realising what was in the drive )
    I havent even tried to get ati drivers working yet so getting winex/games running is a bit beyond my skills at the moment.
    Thanks for the links though.

    Trust me, it's fun!

    Still, I have now have them working on every kernel I have (2.6.6, 2.4.26 and a stripped down 2.4.26 I made.)
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    they are indeed, they're provided by an app called ksensors.

    under debian, apt-get install lm-sensors ksensors, and run sensors-detect once as root. subsequently, ksensors will allow for basic mbm5-like behaviour, including system tray monitors. if you use a 2.4 series kernel, you'll need "i2c" support in your kernel, 2.6 has this built in

    well, I'd post my kde desktop which is quite nice, but I'm in the middle of migrating to gnustep - I'll post if I can get some good desktop action out of gnustep
    It is Inevitable.....

    Ta. I did have lm-sensors installed at one time, but couldn't find anything to display the temps that I got on with (tried gKrellm basically). Will install ksensors and stick 'em in my system tray, just like you!

    pfffft!

    lm-sensors ain't happy. Seems gentoo doesn't (yet) support lm-sensors with a 2.6 kernel, and I'm blowed if I can get it working following the instructions on the lm-sensors site.

    Ah well... it's not as if I'm overclocking or anything

    Thanks... but I already followed that post, and I checked all the links too...

    Nada! Sensors-detect says that it's found some stuff and wants me to load i2c-viapro (among others). But sensors just reports "No sensors found!" whatever I do.

    i don't have any experience of 2.4 kernels, so i can't help with i2c debugging (under 2.6 it JustWorks(tm))

    I'm using 2.6 and it quite definitely doesn't "JustWorks(tm)".

    I have got it to report some memory now, but no temp sensors. Running "sensors-detect" reports a chunk of sensors on a VIA686A, but running "sensors" won't pick them up, and there are no devices other than memory listed in /sys/bus/i2c/devices.

    what do you get in /sys/bus/i2c/devices, directhex?

    ta,

    I have a symlink to /sys/devices/pci0000:00 which is the RAM afaik, but I have no symlink to /sys/devices/platform which is, in turn, empty.

    I think I am now stuck. but at least I REALLY hijacked the thread, eh?
