(i was under impression > that ACPI used lm_sensors?) Not at all. This is a completely different (and amazingy complicated) thing. I can't even call it a driver since it does soooo many things (from IRQ routing to power management and thermal control). There's not much you have to do to get it work now that it is integrated into both the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. Enable ACPI and its "Thermal Zone" option while configuring your kernel, and then browse /proc/acpi for information. Especially the 'thermal_zone" subdirectory could be of interest to you. Hope that helps. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
