Use of sensors

I just did, and created an /etc/modules.conf with just the lines
below in it.

Here's the last part of the output:

===============================================

To make the sensors modules behave correctly, add these lines to
/etc/modules.conf:
                                                                                

#----cut here----
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
#----cut here----
                                                                                

To load everything that is needed, add this to some /etc/rc* file:
                                                                                

#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-i801
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe eeprom
modprobe w83627hf
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended
#----cut here----
                                                                                

WARNING! If you have some things built into your kernel, the list above
will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should
try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly.
Monitoring programs won't work until it's done.
====================================================

How can I tell which are built in? And which file should I put those
commands into?

As root, I ran the programs listed above, and now sensors outputs

===============================================

What is the error related to VID data?

I haven't done that, but it seems that I'm getting some info now.

Thanks.
