Need pointer to 440 LX patch

Hi,
I seem to remember that a patch was posted for printing CPU temp.,
fan rpm etc. which are available with the 440 LX chipset, but can't locate
it now. Can someone point me to it please ?
BTW we have a Taiwan Mycomp AI6NL motherboard with a P-II/233. From
/proc/pci :
Bus 0, device 7, function 0:
ISA bridge: Intel 82371AB PIIX4 ISA (rev 1).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. Master Capable. No bursts.
Bus 0, device 1, function 0:
PCI bridge: Intel 440LX - 82443LX PAC AGP (rev 3).
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. Master Capable. Latency=64.

For some reason fastvid/proform simply doesn't make any
difference. With a CLGD-5440/2MB RAM, I get roughly 13.06 million
bytes/sec as measured with vspeed.exe regardless of the settings. On
linux (RH 5.0 with XFree), enabling write-combining on the LFB causes
bitblt engine timeouts. It works with "no_bitblt", but I can't see any
improvement in performance (x11perf -shmput500). In fact the old P-100
system with the identical card gave 19.06 million bps with vspeed.
I am quite disappointed - can't play full-screen mpegtv :(
TIA for any clues ...
