README for lm_sensors

IMPORTANT NOTES
|
|
|
|
* The libsensors configuration file (/etc/sensors.conf) is never overwritten
|
|
by our installation process, so that you won't lose your personal settings
|
|
in that file. You still can get our latest default config file in
|
|
etc/sensors.conf.eg and manually copy it to /etc/sensors.conf if you want.
|
|
You will then want to edit it to fit your needs again.
|
|
|
|
* The format of /etc/sensors.conf changed with lm-sensors >= 3.0.0.
|
|
If you have a custom configuration file using the old format, you can convert
|
|
it using the sensors-conf-convert script. Otherwise just overwrite your old
|
|
configuration file with the new default one.

KERNEL CONFIGURATION
|
|
|
|
* Enable "I2C support" (CONFIG_I2C=y or m). On many motherboards, the sensor
|
|
chip is connected to the SMBus, which is supported by I2C in the Linux kernel
|
|
|
|
* Enable "I2C device interface" (CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=m). sensors-detect needs
|
|
this to probe for SMBus hardware monitoring chips.
|
|
|
|
* In I2C Hardware Bus support, enable all drivers you might need, preferably
|
|
as modules. If you're not sure, select them all.
|
|
|
|
* Enable "Hardware Monitoring support" (CONFIG_HWMON=y or m).
|
|
|
|
* Enable all hardware monitoring drivers you might need, preferably as modules
