lm_sensors for GPU Ati Mobility Radeon and Fan Speed

[1grouchy]

I have problem with loading sensors for GPU and Fan Speed. When I run sensors-detect at the end I got this message:

To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
#----cut here----
# Chip drivers
coretemp
#----cut here----
If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will
contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones!

When I type sensors in terminal i got only temperature of my CPU. In sensor applet I have temperature of CPU and HDD but GPU and Fan Speed is missing.

What I need to do to got these temperature parameters working?

My graphic card is: ATI/AMD Mobility Radeon Series 4
Motherboard: Toshiba NSWAA

Thanks in advance.

bump.

I have AMD Radeon HD 4550. other than that - all is the same. runnign "sensors-detect" gives only coretemp, and running sensors gives only CPU and HDD.

running ubuntu 11.04 64-bit on gnome 2 classic

help please?

update -

(half-)success!
i've managed to connect my motherboard's sensors :D

i have a gigabyte z68 mainboard, so i used the standalone it87 driver:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/misc/it87/

from lm-sensors:
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices

the other part of this issue still remains:
this fixed my problem with the mainboard sensors. still don't have the GPU temperature.

however, when i do

$ aticonfig --od-gettemperature
i get


Default Adapter - ATI Radeon HD 4550
Sensor 0: Temperature - 44.50 C

so that means i DO have reading from my card to the system.
how do i get this into lm-sensors?

solved completely :)

as it turns out, sensors only works with the open source ati driver!

i followed the instructions in this link (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:%20%20Need% 20to%20fully%20remove%20-fglrx%20and%20reinstall%20-ati%20from%20scratch) to completely remove the proprietary driver and install the open source one. after a reboot, the card was being detected automatically - didn't even have to run sensors-detect...

Great job! :P
