sensors.conf supposedly _is_ the the documentation ;) Search for the following line in /etc/sensors.conf: chip "via686a-*" After this line, add: set fan1_div 4 set fan2_div 4 Save, quit, run "sensors -s" (as root), that should do it. > > > while on 2.6.22-rc1: > > > > > > via686a-i2c-9191-6000 > > > ERROR: Can't get adapter or algorithm?!? > > > > Ah, interesting.

Great, this is good news. The 0 RPM reading isn't related to the problem you had, this is a coincidence. 2657 RPM (which your other example shows) is the lowest fan speed this chip can measure with a fan clock divider of 2, anything slower is reported as 0 RPM. That's the reason why I suggested switching the divider to 4. > Is this new version required only for the via686 chip or should be a > general advise for Debian Etch users to upgrade to lm-sensors >= > 2.10.3 for kernels >= 2.6.22? The problem affects almost all hardware monitoring chips, so this is a general advice. I've added a note about it on the lm-sensors website. Alternatively though, you could have recompiled your kernel with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y, then lm_sensors 2.10.1 would have worked fine again. Sorry for not mentioning this before, this might have been easier than upgrading lm_sensors. -- Jean Delvare - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
