I did the following to get it to work (someone else told me this):
apt-get install lm-sensors
apt-get install lm-sensors-source
cd /usr/src/modules/lm-sensors
make
make install
depmod -a
[add /usr/local/lib to ld.so.conf and run ldconfig]
prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh
sensors-detect
[add lines to /etc/modutils/local <the program tells you what>]
sensors -s
sensors -s gives me some output, displaying what I have, so that fixes the
last part of your problem. I just did this last night, so I haven't
played with it much. =)
Good luck,
Eric
