I've not found an obvious way to set it in sensors.conf. Could you
point me to some doumentation, thanks.

Just for the record. Does not quit. It displays on the panel "Chip not found.".

Luckily the 2.10.3 lm-sensors version is on unstable. The backport to
Debian Etch was straightforward. Now the applet works again! And the
P/S fan indicator (you may have noted that showed 0 in the 2.6.22-rc1
case) works too. Many thanks ;-).

Is this new version required only for the via686 chip or should be a
general advise for Debian Etch users to upgrade to lm-sensors >=
2.10.3 for kernels >= 2.6.22?
