Substract 15 and you'll get real temps." I don't know if that's the case but it sounds plausible to me thanks everyone for your answer & help so far Regards Mat -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
