[i2c] Macs with Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family)

It seems that all the Macs (MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Mini) with
Intel chips use this 82801G chip.

See: http://www.mactel-linux.org/wiki/Lspci

I cannot get sensors-detect to detect anything. I'd particularly like to
monitor CPU temperature, if that's possible. Fan speed would be good too.

Here's some relevant output. Thanks for any help.

Some output from sensors-detect is currently at:
http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook

In my MacBook I also get:

Can't access procfs/sysfs file

For 2.6 kernels, make sure you have mounted sysfs and libsensors
was compiled with sysfs support!
For older kernels, make sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-proc'!

dmesg |grep -i error

I'm using a 2.6.17.6 kernel on Debian Etch and have not made any changes
to /etc/sensors.conf.

I'm glad to provide other information that would help troubleshoot the
relevant chip(s). Thanks for any help!
