Third try.
@Claymore
Please update us on this one.

I noticed that I miss some messages sometimes, sorry.
I'm not linux dev and reading/parsing some files to get temps looks strange for me and will take some time to implement and test it properly. Therefore I will not do it right now, though I will do it in future anyway because it seems there is no "normal" way now, again thanks to AMD devs, they don't care about such things as backward compatibility. Also, this way allows monitoring only, fans management won't work.
Right now I add new coin and I think it's more interesting feature than getting temps for Linux for 4xx cards.

No Problem, thats why i try it more often Smiley
I agree that this seems to be strange for windows users, but in linux this is quite normal.
The /sysfs/ folder mentioned above is a virtual file system from the Kernel (and there drivers) itself.
The above paths mentioned are not files, they are more like APIs where you can control the driver.
For example you can also control the FAN Speed.

Code:
echo 255 > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1

will set the fanspeed of card1 to 100%
This realy is an important feature of your miner, and im pretty sure that bigger mining farms are not running windows Wink

Ok, I will check it soon.
