It's very frequent that laptops have no chips lm_sensors recognizes, so I wouldn't look any further in that direction. More often than not, the only temperature source for laptops is ACPI. Assuming you have ACPI support turned on in your kernel, try loading the "thermal" kernel module, then look in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone. If you have files there, read them to find the system temperature. A more convenient way to read the values is by using the "acpi" command line client. Slackware doesn't package it, but you can download the sources [1] and compile it by yourself easily. [1] http://grahame.angrygoats.net/acpi.shtml -- Jean Delvare
