Hello,

I have tried to use sensors-detect on my Ubuntu system (from lm-sensors
package in universe). It failed sying that it could find the i2c devices
(and asking me to create them).

I have found out a similar bug report on Fedora Core 3. The proposed
solution is to modify the line 1769 of sensors-detect scrip to enable
the use of devfs (just change the initilization of the $use_devfs
variable from 0 to 1). It worked like a charm.

Hope this tip help someone.

Best,

Paulo
