Hello ACPI developers, The ACPI temperature on my Dell laptop (Intel Core i5-430M CPU) is strange. You can not see the temperature unless you perform a "suspend to ram" operation. This is what it shows if it is just booted (i.e. not performed any suspending). $ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp 26800 $ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp 0 And they never change, until you perform a "suspend to ram" (pm-suspend) operation. After suspending and recovering, it turns to: $ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp 26800 $ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp 51000 And the value of zone1 keep changes every several seconds, which I think is the right temperature (51C). But I don't know what's zone0 about. Please fix it so that: 1 remove useless zone0, or tell what's that about. 2 make zone1 usable before suspending. Thanks.
