I assume you're using GKrellm. Have you enabled the sensors in GKrellm? Right-click on the title-bar, Configuration, Builtins/sensors. Enable the sensors you want.
hmm it's very wierd, i tried doing sensors-detect again and it says it made the config file /usr/share/doc/packages/sensors/prog/init/lm_sensors.init.suse
but it's not even there
i remember it was generating it, but i did cut it and paste it ,but since it didn't work i deleted it, and tried doing it again, mabye cause i deleted it it's gons?
If you don't have the lm_sensors.init.suse file in place, lm_sensors won't start.
I compiled lm_sensors from source and my lm_sensors.init file is in my home directory, specifically /home/marc/lm_sensors-2.8.7/prog/init/lm_sensors.init. I copied it to /etc/rc.d/init.d and renamed it lm_sensors.
Once you've found it and copied/renamed it (lm_sensors.init.suse in your case), reboot and watch the scrolling kernel messages for any mention of lm_sensors being loaded. If you've followed all the previous steps, you should be set up.

# rc_status check and set local and overall rc status
# rc_status -v ditto but be verbose in local rc status
# rc_status -v -r ditto and clear the local rc status
# rc_status -s display "skipped" and exit with status 3
# rc_status -u display "unused" and exit with status 3
# rc_failed set local and overall rc status to failed
# rc_failed <num> set local and overall rc status to <num>

# rc_exit exit appropriate to overall rc status
