Easy to follow, thanks.
The module in my case was smsc47b397

To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:

#—-cut here—-
# Chip drivers
# no driver for SMSC LPC47M172 Super IO Fan Sensors yet
#—-cut here—-

This is the response I got from the terminal. What do I need to do now?

Thank you.

Hi all,

perhaps someone can help me:

Using this great instruction on Jaunty / Thinkpad X300, I get not one, but 15 temperatures from 33 to 43 Celsius displayed in my panel, all from the cpu, in a row and taking all the space…
Do you know where this could come from / what it means / how I could possibly fix it to show only one temperature?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Hey – just wanted to say thanks for a clear and concise how-to. I now have everything I need at a glance at the top. I just wish more how-to’s out there were like yours. Keep up the good work!

After doing the sensors-detect questions, I put in ’sensors’ in the terminal, and this is what it returns:

No sensors found!
Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.
Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.

Any idea why and what I have to do to get it to work?

Great, it worked first time around in Linux Mint 6, Felicia – x64 Edition. Lm-sensors and hddtemp were already installed. After ‘Do you want to add these lines to /etc/modules automatically? (yes/NO)’ The answer should of course be ‘yes’ and not ‘YES’.
Thanks from Nederland.
