Additionally i connected three twisted pair wires with a 100 Ohm resistor. At the end of each wire a schottky diode reverse biased across the DS18S20 sensor against spikes is used.
At the moment i have 5 DS18S20 temperature sensors (inside, outside, heater back, heater, warmwater)
Initialising: digitemp -i -s /dev/ttyS0 -q -c /etc/digitemp.conf
Reading: digitemp -a -q -c /etc/digitemp.conf

/etc/collectd.conf:
LoadPlugin exec
<Plugin exec> Exec "nobody:dialout" "/usr/bin/digitemp_DS9097" "-n0" "-d10" "-a" "-q" "-c/etc/digitemprc" "-oPUTVAL home/temp/temperature-%s interval=10 %N:%.2C"
</Plugin>
I had to make a patch for collectd that the exec plugin runs with user nobody and group dialout. Because user nobody's group is not dialout "setgroups" have to be called (add user nobody to /etc/groups dialout is only used if initgroups is called).
Also for digitemp i made a patch because i got sometimes 85 degrees (error condition) which are not correctly handled by digitemp:
Hi!
I discovered the use of wrong indexes:
These is your Indextable:
Temperature = scratchpad[1]
Sign = scratchpad[2]
TH = scratchpad[3]
TL = scratchpad[4]
Count Remain = scratchpad[7]
Count Per C = scratchpad[8]
CRC = scratchpad[9]
1. glitch condition
COUNT_PER_C is Index 8 and COUNT_REMAIN is Index 7
- if( (scratchpad[7] - scratchpad[6]) == 1 )
+ if( (scratchpad[8] - scratchpad[7]) == 1 )
2. Error Condition (85 Degrees)
- if( (scratchpad[4]==0xAA) &&
- (scratchpad[3]==0x00) &&
- (scratchpad[7]==0x0C) &&
- (scratchpad[8]==0x10)
+ if( (scratchpad[1]==0xAA) &&
+ (scratchpad[2]==0x00) &&
+ (scratchpad[7]==0x0C) &&
+ (scratchpad[8]==0x10) )
Also i think an Error Condition (85 Degrees) should be handled like a
CRC Error.

The hard work with xinerama / dual screen was:
* set the monitor sync/refresh rate (it won't start without for an old crt not supporting ddc)
* set Option "NoAccel" "true" (screen distortions)
* touchpad only works with dual screen
* instabilities with two different cards (via / ati - resolved by using only ati card that has two VGA connectors)
Testing with: #> X -config /absolutepath/xorg.conf -verbose
