MX610 and linux

Greetings all...I'm new to this forum as well as lcd screens...and would appreciate some assistance. I have hooked everything up properly and configured LCDd as well as lcdproc ...currently my screen scrolls thru quite a few displays showing memory, cpu, load etc...but they are only what was given in the MAN or help files...I am hoping there is MORE. My main goal is to display my CPU temperature using the motherboards built in sensors? I know you can do this with windows and LCDC...but I want this to work in linux and am hoping someone has some experience to help me along.

Does anyone have experience using lcdproc that could give me some further insight to LCDd.conf and lcdproc.conf? As I said earlier...I'm hoping there are "more" variables I can input into those conf files...

I don't know how to use the 2 thermal probes I have attached...not sure how to activate/access them.

How do I get rid of the screen that shows the lcdproc version and authors? I don't care to have it scrolling thru the display along with the other information I do want.

I don't know how to write my own scripts...not sure what to do.

I would appreciate any information anyone could give me...I feel I have searched google, the gentoo linux forums (my linux distro) and this forum extensively...but I have missed finding what information I require. Thanks much for your help...

Hit DitDah,

Thank you for posting at the forum.

Unfortunately, we do not have much experience with LCDProc, since we currently do not have any Linux support. However, you can try contacting some of the authors and other users by going to http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net/mail.php3

If you have anymore questions or concerns, please feel free to post.
