I will propose to good testers some trick:
If nVidia monitoring doesn't work for you and in kernel.log you see
CODE
Nov 29 19:36:01 localhost kernel[0]: Error reading BIOS
then try to upload the VideoBios using RC5 features
CODE
UseNvidiaROM=Yes|No Use an alternate Nvidia ROM image
(path: /Extra/<vendorid>_<devid>.rom)
VBIOS=Yes|No Inject VBIOS to device-properties.
It is interesting for me.

Thanks for giving us this tip,
Slice. Can you please point us to a guide how to extract VGA BIOS from e.g. Ubuntu (via USB stick)? I don't think I can do that via MacOSX and don't have Windows installed on my mobo

Thanks!

thx slice for the hint,
in my log i got no error reading the bios but
09.12.10 18:14:09 kernel Vendor ID 7f7f7f7f 7f7f7f7f
09.12.10 18:14:09 kernel Device ID 7f7f7f7f 7f7f7f7f
09.12.10 18:14:09 kernel 7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f
which i actually dont know where it is referencing to.
I am really confused about this new fakeSMC. I have been using 2.5 for a while now and decided to give this new version a shot. First off please correct me if I have any part of this process wrong.
Step 1. I went to E/E and deleted fakeSMC 2.5 and deleted kext cashe
Step 2. I took the new FakeSMC from slice and put it in S/L/E <--- is that right? I got KP doing this so I googled away for an answer as to why.
I found that there is another version made by mozodojo AKA Super Zan-Zan that runs from E/E. So I installed this version in E/E and it works and I get my temps as I did before with 2.5. I have an x3100 and would like to use that plugin but now that I have mozodojo version running can I use that plugin?
From what it looks like the 2 projects have merged to make one project. Is that correct? Is this the main tread for that combined project now? Or is it this one? -->
http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showforum=165I am just confused about what plugins work for my system and where there supposed to be installed and what DSDT fixes I need to do to make them work if any.
There seems to be no comprehensive guide in existence on how to properly install or setup this new fakeSMC.. Maybe its still in the works somewhere but I cant find it through googling so far and If I'm lost I'm sure others are to.
Here are my system specs...

http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showforum=165I am sorry. There are two major version. Incompatible in plugins.
1. Old one from this thread. It work only from s/l/e. It can KP because of contain plugins that you need no (Radeon, nVclock). Read topic carefully.
2. New one from mozodojo without X3100 plugin yet.

Slice... Thank you so much for clearing that up. I will stick with what I got until mozodojo makes a x3100 plugin, hopefully. Also my superIO sensor is PC83785. Does your version cover that chip? mozodojo does not for now.
Without the plugins I think that pretty much means 2.5 is still the best. Maybe I'll watch this development a little longer.
Thanks for all the hard work. This was my first post here and I really thought I missed some info somewhere that explained this a lot better. I did read through this topic but was a little lost.

Your right I got it wrong.. Is there a way to see which super I/O chip I have on my system?
This doc here:
http://shop.lenovo.com/ISS_Static/merchand...pecs_041309.pdfSays I have LPC bus (ENE KB925 Super I/O) Does that make any sense?

This doc is shop-doc but not document for programmers.
KB925 - same absent of datasheets.
You can got some information by Everest but I don't think it will be helpful to make monitoring. You way is ACPIMonitor with manual DSDT patching.
About X3100. It will work with FakeSMC.kext v2.7.2 (rev 405) placed into s/l/e.
Right click on the kext by mouse, wait for contextual menu, and choose Show Package Contents.
Delete Radeon from PlugIns

One question though, what is FakeSMCSMBus.kext for? Thanks.
It is a template for a possible investigation if someone can do.
The project is closed.
Now new FakeSMC v3.0.0 which is discussed in
FakeSMC subforum.
