Help finding & installing several programs (ATI, Temperature Monitoring, Equalizer)


Hello!

I've finally installed etch yesterday and set it up a bit so it pretty much does what I expected it to do. Now I need some help if anyone could help me.

1) I don't manage to install the ATI Drivers for my Radeon 9800 card. I know ATI drivers aren't the best out, but I just want some 3D acceleration.

2) I can't finde a program to watch the temperature of my CPU, Mainboard, GPU and HDDs. Anything useful out there (something like Motherboardmonitor for Windows).

3) I like the comfort of Rhythmbox, but I can't find an equalizer. I downloaded tap-plugins with an equalizer for GStreamer, how do I use it?

That's it, I hope somebody can help me. If it matters: I'm using, as said before, etch with KDE.

On 2): look in the repositories for lm-sensors and it's frontends like xsensors.

Also

ksensor, gkrellm, gdesklets - all use lm_sensors to display system monitoring info (temp, fan, voltage).

Isn't lm-sensors just for Kernel 2.4?

Nope, works just as well with the 2.6 kernel In fact, in the 2.6 kernel lm-sensors support is enabled by default, in 2.4 you'd need to compile it into the kernel yourself.
