2.4.14 and heat sensors

[Gaccm]

i've had heat sensoring for awhile, using the LM-sensor modules. in 2.4.14 there is a option in the kernel (character devices-> i2c support) that says it is "required for hardware sensors." I'm wondering if i should enable that, or keep going my merry way of adding extra modules? Does that option work with lm-sensors?

lm-sensors is on my long to do list. What I have read so far, i2c support is required for lm-sensors.

Gaccm - I *think* that the lm_sensors page would suggest to you to keep on your merry way. You would have to compile lm_sensors differently, IIRC, if the I2C deal was not modular (option 3 I think). When I compiled the 2.4.5 kernel I also had the choice with i2c built-in, and as per suggestion went the modular route. After all, most of your hardware specific stuff is going to have to be moudules anyway.

With the 2.2.x kernels, you had to compile I2C and lm_sensors to get sensors working. Since I2C is available in the 2.4.x kernels, you should compile those as modules and then compile lm_sensors. Should have everything working.
