Ah, thanks!

After a couple of days (and since I ended up having to load some
cvs modules to get my Audigy card somewhat working; Ah, life on
the bleedin' edge :>),  I went ahead and loaded the i2c & lm_sensors
CVS modules.

It did give me some more info to work with, and now I can look at
my eeproms (I dont know why, but...).  But perhaps I was misled
or misinterpreted the `more info' !  It seemed to indicate I should
use
   modprobe w83781d force_w83627hf=0,0x69
which _did_ give me apparent sensors output, but all the numbers
were nonsense, eg, the fan was running at an impressive 37500 rpm!
Wow! and all min & max were the same as the values.....

I just tried your suggestion (and indeed 290 is where sensors-detect
had found the chip) [I could have sworn that I tried this before...]
At any rate, now I'm getting mostly sensible (see below)

A few inputs I'm pretty sure aren't hooked up (fan2,fan3,temp3, Vcore2?)
A couple of others look worrisome (VCore1, +3.3V, -12V, -5V), but
perhaps the conversion parameters need tweeking for the w83697hf ?

If anybody knows the needed tweaks, I'd appreciate it; otherwise, I'll
eventually grope around and try to figure it out.

At any rate, I'm much closer;  Thanks!!!
