Hey,

I'm trying to run sensors-detect so I can have temperatures in my conky. Anyway, when I run sensors-detect I get

Code:

# sensors-detect revision 5291 (2008-06-23 23:40:46 -0700)

This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.

We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters.
Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): yes
Probing for PCI bus adapters...
Use driver `i2c-piix4' for device 0000:00:14.0: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 SMBus

We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.
Module `i2c-piix4' already loaded.
If you have undetectable or unsupported I2C/SMBus adapters, you can have
them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script.

To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded.
Do you want to load `i2c-dev' now? (YES/no): yes
FATAL: Module i2c_dev not found.
Loading failed, expect problems later on.

We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may
be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence
value in that case.
If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address,
you can specify that address to remain unprobed.

Next adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter  (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):


I'm trying to compile the module i2c-dev into my kernel but I can't find it anywhere. Where can I find it? TAI

Device Drivers >I2C support>I2C device interface

read help for this module.

I2C is in Device Drivers -> I2C Support. It's probably there, if it's in the kernel at all. I just looked in my own .config and didn't find it, after searching for i2c-dev, i2c_dev, dev-i2c, and dev_i2c.

OK cool, I've found it. Didn't turn up when I did a search though. Nevermind.

Thanks for the help.

It was in Device Drivers >I2C support>I2C device interface.

Aha. So that's what that is. Now I can try lm_sensors myself!
