Getting CPU Temp monitoring working for AMD Phenom II X4 940 (780G chipset)

[pallo]

Hello Ben, this might be helpful:

1. Get data:
# wget
http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/attachments/20080718/d51be536/attachment.bin


2. Renaming and putting the stuff into a new directory:
# mkdir k10temp && mv attachment.bin k10temp/k10temp.c


3. change to ../k10temp and type (as root) "Makefile" (Big Letter "M"!):

obj-m := k10temp.o
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules


4. root-Terminal and getting Kernel Sources (if hasn't installed yet):
# sudo apt-get install linux-source


5. root-Terminal:
# make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$(pwd) modules

6. after successful compilation the k10temp.ko was build):
# insmod k10temp.ko

7. Test:
# sensors
brings up now the following result:

k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +37.2°C

8. copy and building the dependencies:
# cp k10temp.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/hwmon
and
# depmod

9. write "k10temp" in /etc/modules 

Now you shoud get the (or any)  applet for your Taskbar, where the newly
generated informations can be shown.

I hope ist helps. I saw your thread a few times - knowing about the missing
information, I translated my own small tutorial from good old german into
english. If there are any questions: don't hesitate contacting me!
