lm_sensors on SuSE 9.1

I have not been able to get lm_sensors working on 9.1. There is a support ticket that shows the exact same problem I have at http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1668 where the response is "You use the wrong version of lm_sensors for your kernel. According to our "2.6 kernel information" page, Linux 2.6.4 only works properly with lm_sensors 2.8.5. http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/kernel26.html" It looks like the version of sensors installed in 9.1 is "sensors-2.8.3-99", so it's not surprising it doesn't work. I wonder how SuSE managed to miss this?
