Re: [gentoo-user] motherboard
note that if you want to use lm_sensors with an nForce2 chipset you need the MASKED versions of the lm_sensors and i2c packages; and if you want to use one of the newer GeForceFX chipsets, you need the MASKED nvidia drivers. and I've been getting segfaults on my built-in nForce2 soundcard's drivers...

If you go that route, check to see that you are getting a very recent board as some of the first had capacitor problems causing board failure. MCI and Leadtek are 2 that had the problem. There may be more. I bought 5 Leadtek K7NCR18D-pro boards in March and 3 have failed. I am expecting replacement boards any day now. Symptoms of this problem include failure to boot and random unexplainable crashes. Assuming these problems have been taken care of, the boards are solid, stable, fast and work GREAT with Nvidia graphics cards. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

If you are looking for stability, I think it is awfully difficult to beat the Intel motherboards. Definitely NOT for overclockers. -- Bill Roberts -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] motherboard monitor
You just have to make sure you didn't compile i2c into kernel, it is not a problem if it was compiled as module, but it is a problem if it was enabled with y in kernel. If the above is ok, then you are al set by emerging it, since emerge will compile and install the kernel modules which are created by i2c and lm-sensors into the kernel modules dir. - Original Message - From: Aaron Walker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 11:13 PM Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] motherboard monitor Redeeman wrote: what you are looking for is lm-sensors, first you emerge i2c (the version in 2.4.x kernels is outdated, 2.6 is new) and then you emerge lm-sensors, and gkrellm, and gkrellm sensors then you are set!

I was wondering this question also.. so you do not have to do anything to the kernel? Mostly correct... If you have added i2c in to the kernel, make sure that it is as modules only. If i2c is compiled into the kernel lm-sensors won't work, at least with 2.4 kernels Thanks, Aaron On Mon, 2003-11-17 at 20:38, Gezim Hoxha wrote: Hi guys, I'm just looking for some utility like motherboard monitor (http://mbm.livewiredev.com/) that works in gentoo, and what do I have to enable in the kernel for this?
