Re: lm_sensors package

Thanks for the help, Jo and Gilles.

I think I had misunderstood the role of modules.conf, which sets up aliases 
and provides support in the form of parameters etc when modules are loaded.

I still have to put their names into /etc/modules to have them loaded at boot, 
yes?

Man update-modules suggests the command is obsolete

I had done all that sensors-detect stuff and got some figures up in ksensors.

I'm slightly puzzled that the cpu temp starts up from about 51 degrees when 
the screen is blank (computer left running)  and then cools down to 39 
degrees when I am working. Not that watching me type is much of a stretch for 
an AMD64 3400!  I'm also suspicious of fans that return speeds of 10,000 rpm; 
I thought they were closer to having a top speed of 3 000 to 5 000 rpm.
