FWIW, I also posted details of setting up lm_sensors &
gkrellm. It doesn't seem to have shown up yet though.
This seems to be the worst list I've ever participated
in as far as implementation & responsiveness
(responsiveness of the system, not the participants!)
Anyway, I finally got my fan speed working in gkrellm.
Took longer then it should have because I didn't realize
it alternated between cpu temp & fan speed. If I had
watched it for a little longer...
My fan speed was way off though. It read about 1100 for
a Volcano II which thermaltake says is a 4500 RPM fan.
The temps are good, so I assume that the fan speed is
nominal. So I bumped up the multiplier to read 4500.
Any idea how to validate the temperature reading
though? Mine is in the expected range. I guess that's
good enough.
As for KHealthcare. I've had no luck compiling or with
rpms. I sent an e-mail to the developer, but got no
response. That either means he's hard at work on it, or
doesn't care. Hopefully the former!
