Hi,
I have just built a new system using the Epox 8K3A motherboard and wishing to get the sensors working. I'm using SuSE 8.0 which does not appear to support the WindBond W83697HF chip. I can't seem to find out the version of sensors SuSE is using.
So my question is what is the easiest way of installing a new version of Sensors and i2c.
Where do you unpack the files to as they appear to have a different directory structure to the kernel or am I mistaken.
I have lm-sensors working with EPoX 8K3A. You need the latest pre-release version from the lm-sensors home page. See http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/download.html ans follow the directions for "CVS Distribution" for lm_sensors2 (NOT lm_sensors without the "2"). I am also using SuSE 8.0 and found that I did *not* have to download and build the "i2c" package. After building lm_sensors2, copy the example config file (lm_sensors2/etc/sensors.conf.eg) to /etc/sensors.conf. I had to make a few changes to the section under chip "w83697hf-*" Here is most of that section with my changes marked: label in0 "VCore" # RCP: per the BIOS display screen this is the agp voltage # label in2 "+3.3V" label in2 "Vagp" label in3 "+5V" label in4 "+12V" label in5 "-12V" label in6 "-5V" # RCP: according to the BIOS it's 5VSB, not V5SB.
