Hello,
My computer has those nice sensors that can report CPU temperature, fan
speed etc. I would like to get those working.
First of all, how come kudzu do not configure them? Is tgere a problem
with enabling them as default?

My system runs very hot, although i do not think there is a fault of my
hardware, more the cause of lots of hardware and maybe a to small fan on
the cpu. I have configured the bios to halt my system when it runs to
hot, but lets say my system always is about one degree below the limit,
that cant be to good can it, even though the system is not complaining.
Hey, i don't even know if the bios actually can do the system-halt when
running Linux. :)

So, the specs:  (dont know if something more is needed, but VIA cant
change the sensor-chipset that much from release to release, can they?)

If the lspci output is not enough, i do belive this is an Asus
mainboard. Not sure of more though :)
