Hi,
When shutting down the computer I always saw a warning in red about acpid, so i decided to do something about it. I ran as root /usr/sbin/sensors-detect, and choose to use the option to configure for the ISA port.
This than generated the configuration lines for my system, wich I have to copy to two seperate files. The first line is this:
#I2C module options alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
And I have to copy this in /etc/modprobe.conf, but besides this file there is also this file /etc/modprobe.conf.local. This confused me because in /etc/modprobe.conf is a line that says to put local configuration in /etc/modprobe.conf.laocal.
Where must I put the generated lines in ?
Because I now have a warning that says in red: acpid lm-sensors.
And where do I have to put these lines:
#I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-viapro modprobe i2c-isa #I2C chip drivers modprobe eeprom #Warning the required module smbus-arp is not currently installed on your system. #For status of 2.6 kernel ports see htpp://secure.netroedge.com/~Im78/supported.html #If driver is built-in to the kernel, or unavailable, comment out the following line. modprobe smbus-arp modprobe w83627hf #sleep 2 # optional /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended
Again I have to put these lines in /etc/rc, I found these files:
/etc/rc.d.README /etc/rc.splash /etc/rc.status
But no /etc/rc.
Desktop SUSE Linux 10.0 x86_64:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 256 MB DDR. Memory: 512 MB DDR. Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce FX 5700 LE 256 MB DDR. Motherboard: Asus K8V Deluxe.
Thanks in advance.

I would put the line
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
in modprobe.conf. However, it may already be there.
I would then type the lines by hand:
modprobe i2c-viapro modprobe i2c-isa modprobe eeprom
and then run /usr/bin/sensors -c /etc/sensors.conf
to see if sensors can be read.
If they can then follow the recommendation which states: "To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file"
This terse message assumes you know about run-level scripts. There is no /etc/rc directory or file per se (unless you create one for your own purposes). There is /etc/rc.d and its subdirectories. Read the /etc/rc.d/README file for more exhaustive information.
Typically, the scripts located in the /etc/rc.d/rcX.d directories get "started" and "stopped" each time the machined enters and exits the desired run level (X is 0-6). There's of course much more to this but do a "man insserv" to get a better idea and don't forget to memorize /etc/rc.d/README. "insserv myscript" is the proper way to insert a script into the boot/run level change sequence. In other words you can write a script including the three lines:
modprobe i2c-viapro modprobe i2c-isa modprobe eeprom
and some comment header info (which insserv consumes) to tell insserv where to place the rc script.
In my system which is also an ASUS K8V Deluxe, when I type /usr/bin/sensors -c /etc/sensors.conf
I get
w83627ehf-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter Case Fan: 0 RPM (min = 1205 RPM, div = 32) CPU Fan: 3375 RPM (min = 1704 RPM, div = 8) fan3: 0 RPM (min = 191 RPM, div = 128) fan4: 0 RPM (min = 10546 RPM, div = 128) Sys Temp: +28°C (high = +45°C, hyst = +40°C) CPU Temp: +26.0°C (high = +45.0°C, hyst = +40.0°C) temp3: +29.0°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C)
HTH
PS. I have no idea what to do when "sensors -s" returns with nothing. I haven't read that part of the documentation.

If you are using the package from SuSE, it says when you set it up.
And where do I have to put these lines:
#I2C adapter drivers modprobe i2c-viapro modprobe i2c-isa #I2C chip drivers modprobe eeprom #Warning the required module smbus-arp is not currently installed on your system. #For status of 2.6 kernel ports see htpp://secure.netroedge.com/~Im78/supported.html #If driver is built-in to the kernel, or unavailable, comment out the following line. modprobe smbus-arp modprobe w83627hf #sleep 2 # optional /usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended
This looks like the init.d script, but not completely. Check /usr/share/doc/packages/sensors/prog/init/lm_sensors.init.suse and copy it to /etc/init.d and rename to lm_sensors. The sensors-detect script should create automatically /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors with the list of modules you will be loading.
The line:
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
is indeed already in /etc/modprobe.conf, so that is already solved.
Correct, this is done by SUSE
But before putting the other lines in place I ran:
/usr/bin/sensors -c /etc/sensors.conf

These mean you need to tweak /etc/sensors.conf for your chips (every motherboard may need this).
temp1: +32° C (high = +34°C, hyst = +76°C) sensor = thermistor

Chassis intrusion is a feature on your motherboard, not because you opened the case. It is probably disabled.

Read some of the documentation. You will need to tweak the settings in /etc/sensors.conf to make the output relevant for your motherboard.
Does anyone know what is wrong ?
It needs configuration, like most programs. But TBO, this will only get your sensors program going, it will have no effect on your acpid problem.

Man acpid says that acpid reads the data in /proc/acpi/events, but when I put my pointer over that file in Konqueror the summary says that it is emtpy. When I do the same with the file dsdt it also says it is emtpy, every directory or file under /proc/acpi is empty.
Has this somting to do with dose lines I still have to insert ?
Thanks in advance.

Files in /proc/whatever are not exactly regular files. You have to do a "cat" on the file such that the kernel gets a message to actually gather data and pump it to you.
For example: As root:
cd /proc/acpi/ ls -la -r-------- 1 root root 0 Oct 24 19:32 event dr-xr-xr-x 10 root root 0 Oct 24 19:32 . -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 24 21:32 wakeup dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 24 21:32 thermal_zone -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 24 21:32 sleep dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Oct 24 21:32 processor dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 24 21:32 power_resource -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 24 21:32 info dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 24 21:32 fan -r-------- 1 root root 0 Oct 24 21:32 fadt dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 24 21:32 embedded_controller -r-------- 1 root root 0 Oct 24 21:32 dsdt dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Oct 24 21:32 button dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 24 21:32 battery -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 24 21:32 alarm dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 24 21:32 ac_adapter

Notice how all files are "empty" yet the cat command (which executes open() and read() system calls) gets data from the "files". The /proc directory is special. It is a hook into the kernel among other things.
I've never pointed a browser into these files and would avoid doing so to minimise confusion.

I get two lines one mentions that there is no support for the battery, wich is normal because this is a desktop system. And the other says that there is no thermal support.
