R5xx cards used external i2c thermal chips. 2.6.34 exposes the i2c bus and you can manually load the i2c hwmon driver. The drm-radeon-testing branch will automatically load the proper hwmon driver for your card. The temp and fan info is exposed via the sysfs hwmon interface.Quote:

Check your dmesg, it should mention what i2c chip is being used on the radeon board, then load the hwmon module for the chip in question.
Thank you, I didn't know that. :)Quote:

The only i2c I can see here is that i801, which I assume is from my motherboard, and it is already built into my kernel. sensors-detect does see something related to my Radeon, but no thermal monitoring there:
Thanks for any input.Code:Next adapter: Radeon i2c bit bus DVI (i2c-1)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Client found at address 0x50
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'... No
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No
Probing for `SPD EEPROM'... No
Probing for `EDID EEPROM'... Yes
(confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip)
I *think* the 2400 temp sensor is on-chip accessed via registers, vs external chips accessed via I2C on earlier GPUs, so an I2C bus scan wouldn't find it.
You need this patch for systems that use the internal thermal sensor (most rv6xx+ boards):

It's scheduled for inclusion in 2.6.36.
The patch can't be applied on 2.6.35-rc3:

It needs to be rebased due to changes in 2.6.35. I'll probably rebase my pending patches later this week or next.
