On most laptops you can get one temperature from ACPI. Try loading the "thermal" and "fan" modules, then take a look in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone and /proc/acpi/fan, respectively. You might also have a temperature sensor in your hard disk drive, which you can read using smartmontools, or the dedicated tool "hddtemp". I don't much like it because you need to be root to get the information. Hope that helps, -- Jean Delvare
