Many thanks to both Yves and Ned for the pointers. After installing
lm_sensors-2.10.8.-2 from elrepo, then installing the necessary drivers (also
from elrepo) for the sensors on my Shuttle SA76G2, the readings are now
available. For anyone else who runs into this, the SA76G2 needs the it87 and
k10temp kernel drivers.

Now I just have to get the ranges set correctly. Unfortunately, Shuttle
publishes absolutely nothing in the way of documentation, and their tech
support people refuse to provide information, claiming that it is proprietary.
I guess I'll post it in their user forums once I figure which measurements are
meaningful.

Thanks Again,
