LM-sensors Intel D945GCL doesn't show any sensors?

I've been attempting to solve this problem for two weeks. I've been on the lm-sensors wiki and looked for solutions by ACPI. Nothing seems to be able to get access to the sensors except the BIOS. Does anyone know if Intel's D945GCL motherboard with SMSC LPC47m182 IO Fan Sensors, i2c-i801 Intel 82801G ICH7 SMBus, and Andiggilog aSC7611 allow access to the thermal sensors? The Intel motherboard product document says that thermal access is available, but sensors-detect identifies the above three chips and says nothing to be written to /etc/modules. This is a desktop motherboard, but I still thought perhaps ACPI might have access, but the product documents says full ACPI support must be installed, what ever that means. I'm attempting to do this on Slackware64 14.2 full install. Any suggestions or request for more information will be answered quickly.

FYI, sensor-detect does not see "Intel digital thermal sensor" but does see
Trying family `SMSC'... Yes
Found `SMSC LPC47M182 Super IO Fan Sensors'
(but not activated)

What does "but not activate" mean?

And lastly
Probing for `Andigilog aSC7611'... Success!
(confidence 5, driver `to-be-written')

I understand "to-be-written" but is that the sensor for CPU?

Again thanks for any suggestions. Cheers, BrianA_MN
