lm_sensors would be just the thing your looking for it ...
to check and see if you already have it installed just type 'sensors' in the terminal
it will say "no sensors found" if it is
then use "sensors-detect" to set it up ..

Ok, downloaded it but can't install it....Nothing in the install-readme

well in the link i gave you there is a link on that page to the homepage for lm_sensors, and there is FAQ's and docs .... shown below
http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/docs.html

and i don't know what kernel you have, but if you did upgrade to a 2.6.x kernel then there is also a section on that site that might be worth reading ..

Ok, but I don't know where I can find the i2c package....I already googled

weird ... in under 5 seconds i got
http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/ar...c-2.8.1.tar.gz
http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/ar...s-2.8.1.tar.gz

i2c and lmsensors version 2.8.1

and thats by googling ....

simply using lmsensors homepage you get the following ...
http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/download.html

so you didn't look to hard d00d ...

I'm sorry...I just didn't knew what i2c was and in the documentation it says that I need the i2c package but I found so many different ones that I was confused....
Sorry..
Now it should work...
Thanks very much!

OhOh!
Error:
[fedivh@localhost fedivh]$ sensors
Can't access procfs/sysfs file
Unable to find i2c bus information;
For 2.6 kernels, make sure you have mounted sysfs!
For older kernels, make sure you have done 'modprobe i2c-proc'!

As root the same.
I have installed everything like the quick-start manual on the webpage of lmsensors

one of these has to pertain to you ...

did you read this, or is that not the problem ?
what kernel are you running ?

i2c is already installed with Mandrake 9.2 so all you need to do is use the package manager to add lm_sensors, which is also included with the distro but not installed by default. Then run sensors-detect and edit modules.conf and rc.local to add the lines it'll tell you to add.
