sensors reporting

[Karl Heyes]

Just some data points for you. I have a VIA 686 chip which
is reporting the temperature ok.  A few alterations were needed
for the sensors.conf

This is the default output, version 2.6.3.

# sensors
eeprom-i2c-0-50
Adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at 5000
Algorithm: Non-I2C SMBus adapter

via686a-isa-6000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Algorithm: ISA algorithm
CPU core:  +1.78 V  (min =  +1.98 V, max =  +2.49 V)   ALARM
+2.5V:     +1.53 V  (min =  +2.24 V, max =  +2.74 V)   ALARM
I/O:       +3.40 V  (min =  +2.95 V, max =  +3.62 V)   +5V:       +4.82 V  
(min =  +4.47 V, max =  +5.49 V)   +12V:     +12.10 V  (min = +10.79 V, max = 
+13.18 V)   CPU Fan:  4821 RPM  (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2)          P/S 
Fan:     0 RPM  (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2)          SYS Temp: +49.4°C   (limit 
= +40°C, hysteresis = +45°C) ALARM
CPU Temp: +27.9°C   (limit = +55°C, hysteresis = +60°C) SBr Temp: +21.0°C   
(limit = +60°C, hysteresis = +65°C) 
my case the following needed to be done

CPU/SYS Temp need to be swapped.
CPU core known as Vcore in BIOS
+2.5V known as Vagp in BIOS
I/O knowsn as 3.3V
limits changed for CPU temp, Vcore, Vagp.

The lspci -vv is below if it's of any use, minus the 2xethernet, IDE and AGP 
card.
