Well, what I'm trying to do is having conky[1] monitor CPU and
motherboard temperatures and fan rotation speed with code like the
following one in my ~/.conkyrc file:

  ${color green}ACPI)  Temperature:$color ${acpitemp} `C${color green} - Fan:$color $acpifan
  ${color green}I2C)  CPU Temperature:$color ${i2c temp 1} `C${color green} - MoBo Temperature:$color ${i2c temp 2} `C

Since it shows "0 `C" for all temperatures and the "no fans?" text for
the fan rotation speed, I took a look at the above mentioned directories
and at the one mentioned in bug #428614.  I suppose that conky attempts
to read data from there...  Am I wrong?

I suppose that a modern motherboard, such as the Asus P5B-VM, should
make those data available to the OS, through I2C or ACPI...  Am I wrong?

Is it possible that I cannot read those data from the OS?
