Christoph,
   OK, it's up and running at least in a terminal:

lightning ~ # sensors
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:
             +43°C

it8712-isa-0290
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore 1:   +1.39 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)
VCore 2:   +0.00 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)   ALARM
+3.3V:     +3.20 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +4.08 V)
+5V:       +4.81 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +6.85 V)
+12V:     +12.16 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max = +16.32 V)
-12V:      -5.15 V  (min = -27.36 V, max =  +3.93 V)
-5V:      -13.64 V  (min = -13.64 V, max =  +4.03 V)   ALARM
Stdby:     +4.87 V  (min =  +0.00 V, max =  +6.85 V)
VBat:      +3.09 V
fan1:     1548 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, div = 8)
fan2:        0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, div = 8)
fan3:        0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, div = 8)
M/B Temp:    +40°C  (low  =    -1°C, high =  +127°C)   sensor = thermistor
CPU Temp:    +42°C  (low  =    -1°C, high =  +127°C)   sensor = thermistor
Temp3:       +27°C  (low  =    -1°C, high =  +127°C)   sensor = thermistor

lightning ~ #

   At least now I can watch the temp this way and make sure the M/B
temp doesn't get out of line with the new passive heat sink I
installed.

   Ended up that I had to do a kernel upgrade to get this working so
I'm now at 2.6.21-rc5-rt12. It had been 7 months since I'd touched the
kernel.

Thanks very much,
Mark
