No, the tarball and the source all have the underscore, so maybe this is a

ebuilds are gentoo specific.  When you emerge something in portage, it 
uses the ebuild name.  Has nothing to do with the name of the source 
files or tarball.

If you want to find something that you don't know how to "spell" for 
portage, try emerge -s.

Thanks Peter. I actually figured that out all by myself not too long 
after my last post. I then checked back in the archives and found the 
script you shared on 12/26/03 and modified that for my Asus A7N8X. It 
needs some more work and I have to autoload the modules but it works. 
Thanks.
When I have the bugs worked out I'll post the script.

Thanks for the tip.  I visited 
http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/download.html and read the advice 
there that I needed lm_sensors CVS for my IT87 chip (they advise 
against 2.8.3 for that chip).

I grabbed and built CVS but it gave me the same lousy results (the 
negative voltages are really crazy) as I experienced with 2.7.0 on a 
2.4 kernel.

I did `make uninstall`.  I'll stick with my previous setup.

Well, the 2.6 kernels includes all the latest i2c modules, so you will 
need only the i2c userspace tools.

This is generic instructions.
Download lm_sensors-2.8.3.tar.gz and extract it, cd into the directory,
type 
make user && make user_install

Now please make sure sysfs is mounted,
I had to load these modules
i2c-nforce2
w83781d

to acess the sensors on the Asus a7n8x

Now run sensors 
and you should get a listing.

It is called sysfs, you have to mount it, try

[gentoo-user] Sensors and 2.6 kernels

2004-01-05 Thread Peter Ruskin 
As you may have found out, you can't emerge i2c or lm_sensors if you're 
running a 2.6 kernel.  This is my experience of hardware monitoring 
with 2.6.  I hope it may be of some help.

From http://lwn.net/Articles/56146/
 Improved system monitoring.
 ~~~
 - lm_sensors.
   - Shipped in vendors kernels for years, lm_sensors is now part of
 mainline.
 It does however have a different interface. (/sysfs instead
 of /proc
   - http://www.xs4all.nl/~thospel/ASIS/bin/psensors is a handy script
 for parsing the new sysfs fields.

I downloaded psensors and put it in /usr/local/bin and made it 
executable.

CAUTION:  If you get it using a browser with privoxy running, as I did, 
privoxy goes crazy and changes an "open" in that perl script to 
"PrivoxyWindowOpen".  Just change it back and you'll be OK.

I had to install Config::General via CPAN to get the script to work.  
psensors needs a psensors.conf in /etc.  There is is sample (for the 
it87 chip) at the end of psensors.  For other chips you could get the 
appropriate parameters from a sensors.conf for a 2.4 kernel with 
lm_sensors installed.

I have 2 computers, both also using the it87 chip.  For both of them I 
load the sensor in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 with:
i2c-isa
it87 temp_type=0x1c

I adjusted the "Compute" formula for CPU temperature until it matched 
the BIOS readings.  The others were OK, except those I comment out 
because they are useless for my mainboards.  Here are my 
psensors.confs:
