talking about efficiency

November 26, 2008

looking for xmas presents for my and/or my geek friends, i found this nifty gadget:

pants w/ bluetooth keyboard

This is amazingly techology. Just thing, you could be typing in porn URLs AND squeezing the lizard as part of the same hand motion! A new level of masturbatory efficiency! Someone tell Germany.

c7temp module

November 17, 2008

Friday night it took me several hours to get lm_sensors to work. Somehow Genkernel didn’t compile my modules the way i needed them, so i started to configure everything with make menuconfig && make. But thats another story…

My Hardware:Commell 66AD Mainboard, Via C7 1.5Ghz
Distribution: Gentoo x86.
Kernel: 2.6.27.5

Of course you don’t have to use the same kernel version as i did, but according to Debian Bug List, you need some Kernel >=2.6.24 !!!

Step by step tutorial:
1.) Install lm_sensors, emerge -vat lm_sensors.
2.) Run sensors-detect and let sensor-detect write the config file.
3.) Get the kernel source: wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.27.5.tar.bz2
and copy it to /usr/src/
4.) Unpack it tar xfvj linux-2.6.27.5.tar.bz2
5.) Link /usr/src/linux to your kernel version, ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.27.5 linux
6.) Download C7Temp Kernel Patch and copy it to /usr/src/linux .
7.) Patch the Kernel: cd /usr/src/linux/ && patch -p1 < attachment.bin
8.) Configure Kernel: make menuconfig
9.) You need I2C and Hardware Monitoring support: (Device Drivers —> I2C / Device Drivers —> Hardware Monitoring support), compile them as modules, in DD—>HMs —> check „VIA C7 temperature sensor“ – that gives you the wanted c7temp kernel module
10.) Compile your Kernel make… ;)
11.) Update modules: update-modules
12.) Start /etc/init.d/lm_sensors, and if that worked, add it to Runlevel rc-update add lm_sensors default

If you want to patch your existing kernel, start with 6, and instead of recompiling the whole kernel in 10 just run make modules && make modules_install.
