URGENT REQUEST:
Please tell me what "sensor chips" Santafu offers to you (if it works of course), so that I can extend the list of tested sensor chips and tested mainboards.
Read 3.) Useful information.
You can write a mail to <zwickmich@users.sourceforge.net>

1.) REQUIREMENTS:

---

- Linux with KDE (or at least: have the KDE and Qt libraries installed) (KDE = 3.x and Qt = 3.x)
- have lm_sensors installed (may be in a package called "sensors", or similar) - loaded the kernel modules for your board (run "sensors-detect" as root and follow the instructions)
- if you have the source code of Santafu you will need several developer packages of some libraries (eg. kdelibs-devel, libz-devel)

2.) INSTALLATION:

Read the INSTALL file.

Short description:

• tar xfz santafu-0.2.x.tar.gz
• cd santafu-0.2.x
• ./configure (possibly --prefix=$KDEDIR)
• make
• make install (as root)

3.) USEFUL INFORMATION:

You will find a list of tested boards and sensor chip in the file TESTED-HARDWARE.

NOTE

On untested boards Santafu may crash right after startup. (very unlikely, but you never know :-/ )

If you can run Santafu on other boards and other chipsets please write a mail to <zwickmich@users.sourceforge.net>, containing the boards manufaturer, its' name, chipset name and used kernel modules for the hardware sensor.
Example:

Manufacturer: ABIT

   Name        : KT7-Raid
   Chipset     : VIA686a
   Modules     : via686a, i2c-isa

4.) REPORTING BUGS:

Two ways:

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/santafu -> Bugs -> Submit New or
• mail to <zwickmich@users.sourceforge.net>

Be as precise as possible.

5.) KNOWN BUGS:

I did not detect even one :-)

But I think, that Santafu will not show values for temperatures and fan speeds on some chips. I you encounter this, please write a mail to me, so that we can solve this.

Did you detect a bug? -> see 4.) Reporting bugs

6.) THANKS TO...

• Teddy Wong for helping to correct some things with w83627hf sensor chip.
• Michael Mueller for helping to correct some things with as99127f sensor chip
• Ronny Klauck for helping to correct some things with it87 sensor chip.
• and to everyone who reported bugs and tested boards and chips.
