Axel,
Do you have a recommended kmdl src.rpm I should look at for updating
coretemp and possibly other hwmon modules (i.e. lm90)?  I've looked at
the video4linux and nvidia-graphics190.53 src.rpms.  It appears the
video4linux does roughly what I want, so I believe I'll play with its
spec file.

I'm using atrpms-rpm-config to ensure your macros are in place and
I've written many rpms in the past, just not rpms which compile kernel
modules.

I've seen people post links to people.atrpms.net with src.rpms, etc.
How does access to that site work?

Thanks.
