- README.Debian for lm-sensors
- ----------------------------
-
- lm-sensors requires kernel support to access sensor devices. There are
- two parts to these modules: generic drivers to access devices on the i2c
- bus, and drivers to support specific sensor devices.
-
-
- 2.4 kernels
- -----------
-
- 2.4 kernels are not supported any more. If you still want to use a 2.4
- kernel, you have to patch your kernel. Have a look at the documentation
- on http://www.lm-sensors.org/
-
-
- 2.6 kernels
- -----------
-
- All the necessary modules are included in the 2.6 kernel tree. Just have a
- look at "I2C Hardware Sensors Chip support" in your kernel configuration.
-
- Once you have your kernel properly configured, you need to probe for the
- sensors available on your system. You can use the sensors-detect program to
- do this.
-
- Please note that the /sys interface changed in kernel version 2.6.5 and
- libsensors version 2.8.6. This version of libsensors3 doesn't support
- kernels older than version 2.6.5 anymore.
