But you're right. The Voltage is not correct. The temperaure also not.
What language settings are you using? I guess there is a problem with the decimal separator. But I have currently no Idea how to test this myself. It's working here fine.
New power kernel (v47) reports temperature of cpu in 0.1C, while old kernels (v46 and earlier, also stock omap1 kernel) reported it in just 1C (the 'new' way is more accurate and detailed, also a standard way of reporting temperature for Linux kernel, so it's not a bug, it's a fix for a bug). Software written earlier for N900 is not aware of it, so either you take into consideration that e.g. 300C in conky means 30.0C in reality or the maintainer of package updates it. It also affects voltage reading. It's not related to decimal separator, it's not related to language settings, it's related to applications (conky in this example) not aware of this fix in the new kernel.

This is definitifly related to kernel power 47. But I'm unable to help in kernel related problems. Sorry. Perhaps you could find a answer in the Kernel Power related threads.

But as far as I know is kernel power 47 anyway not a stable relase. The last one I know of is kernel power 42!

Thanks a lot for this exact answer. I guess I'm not able to fix this inside the config files. Perhaps if I see some mathematical operations. But I couldn't remember something like that at the moment. And I would need perhaps additionally a setting for this. I put this with a big question mark onto my to-do-list. But currentliy with a low priority.

I made a fix, if you want you can download and install patched conky-n900 package from here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=136 and use it untill conky-n900 developer and maintainer releases some upgrade.

Hmm... thats strange. Have you rebooted your N900 since the installation?

Hmm... is the menu plugin present?
Does Conky start up as soon as you press a button?
Does Conky show the default layout and you're unable to activate the Layout Switcher layouts?
