I am operating openSUSE 11.2 x86_64 KDE4.3 after installing sensors then adding
acpi_enforce_resources=no
to my optional kernel parameters and running
sensors-detect
as superuser.
/etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors:
# Generated by sensors-detect on Tue Mar 9 10:37:33 2010
## Path: Hardware/Sensors
## Description: Defines the modules to used
## Type: string
## ServiceRestart: lm_sensors
## Default: ""
#
# This file is sourced by /etc/init.d/lm_sensors and defines the modules to
# be loaded/unloaded.
#
# The format of this file is a shell script that simply defines variables:
# HWMON_MODULES for hardware monitoring driver modules, and optionally
# BUS_MODULES for any required bus driver module (for example for I2C or SPI).
HWMON_MODULES="dme1737"
# For compatibility reasons, modules are also listed individually as variables
# MODULE_0, MODULE_1, MODULE_2, etc.
# You should use BUS_MODULES and HWMON_MODULES instead if possible.
MODULE_0=dme1737

System Services shows lm_sensors enabled at runlevels 2,3 and 5. Sensors can be started manually with
/etc/rc.d/lm_sensors start
, but lm_sensors doesn’t start at boot.
