Well, lm_sensors will hopefuly refuse to run on your system (that's how we want things to be), even though we are pretty sure there's nothing that could be broken on recent Thinkpads. Anyway, as far as I know, Thinkpads don't have any supported hardware, so lm_sensors is of no interest for them. You'll probably get better results using ACPI to get some information about temperatures and fan status. If you want to give it a try however, please let me know how it goes. If you find something I ignore, I'll try to help, and will also update our documentation about the issue. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
