     3Anybody can now use CVS to access the code archive. CVS allows you to get 
     4the latest and greatest version of lm_sensors, or any older version. 
     5You need the rcs and cvs package, which can be retrieved from any GNU 
     6mirror site (prep.ai.mit.edu is the master site).

    381) Go to the directory where you want lm_sensors (and lm_sensors2?)

    6969  GL518SM revision 0x00 and 0x80 chip driver 
    7070 
     71(src) eeprom: sensors smbus i2c-core 
     72  Driver for DIMMs connected to the SMBus. You need prog/eeprom/decode-dimms.pl 
     73  to make sense of its output. 
     74 
    7175(i2c) algo-bit: i2c-core 
    7276  The 'bit' algorithm, used by many i2c adapters 
    …… 
    100104 
    101105(i2c) hw-monitor: ??? 
    102   Old skeleton driver for GL518SM. Will be superseded by a module which 
    103   interfaces with the sensors module. 
     106  Old skeleton driver for GL518SM. Superseded by the gl518sm module. 
    104107 
    105108Several other modules are not yet ported by Simon Vogl. They are mostly in 
    106109i2c/old-code. 
     110 
     111Usually, if you load the modules through modprobe, you need the following 
     112commands: 
     113  modprobe i2c-proc 
     114  modprobe isa     # Unless you are certain no sensor chips live on the ISA bus 
     115  modprobe piix4   # One such line for each adapter you own 
     116  modprobe lm78    # One such line for each device you own

    88* Many things which were done in kernel space are now done in user space. 
    99  The most obvious result is the absence of /proc/sensors. Use instead the 
    10   supplied program. 
     10  supplied 'sensors' program. 
    1111* No more limits on the number of chips. 
    1212* All detected chips get their own directory under /proc/sys/dev/sensors 
    13 * /proc/bus contains a list of all I2C/SMBus adapters found 
     13* /proc/bus contains a list of all I2C/SMBus adapters found. 
     14* All applications which want to use sensor data can now access it through 
     15  the new libsensors. 
     16* A configuration file which is read by the above mentioned library, which 
     17  can (through libsensors) be used by any application, and which describes 
     18  how all sensor readings are to be interpreted. 
    1419* All code has been completely rewritten.
