Kernel side, it's not your problem anyway, it's an ACPI Thermal Zone one. Guess I'll go ask the 2.6.26 release manager if he feels that breaking existing lm-sensors 2 userspace systems is acceptable. I myself obviously know how to fix things by now. Admittedly I need to find another hobby because the regularity with which people on this list piss me off is definitely disturbing. I also have this depressing notion that it might just be people pissing me off with frightening regularity period, but oh well. Gardening... maybe I'll do gardening now. Rene.
