I'm not using Lm_sensors: I'm using Gkrellm2, which has its own internal sensors. Yes, Gkrellm1 used to rely on Lm_sensors, but that's obsolete. > If lm_sensors the package compiles against the kernel, > as I would imagine it must, > it would need to be re-emerged when you upgraded the kernel. One of the tests I've thought of to probe what's going on is to emerge Lm_sensors & see if I can get readings via CLI , which would show whether the problem is in Gkrellm2 or somewhere in the kernel/sensor interface. I suspect it's a bug in Gkrellm2 , so bug searches may also help. However, it could be the effect of some new kernel config option. But again -- and may thread-hijackers roast in hell -- , has anyone else had this problem using Kernel 2.6.10/11/12 + Gkrellm2 ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
