I guess it was submitted to the linux kernel, but hasn't made it in yet. At any rate, I downloaded it and some other goodies from http://www.openamt.org/. In short, I tweaked a few places to get it to compile and load for my kernel, 2.6.27 (actually on .28-rc3 now). But I think this is the new way to access all the Intel sensors, etc. I don't know much about it yet, looks like it can do alot. But I didn't see a way to get the temp assets from any of the examples, and I don't think I'll have anymore time to look into this further. Thanks for all your help though, but I think you are right. Accessing the temps via the tradional drivers (for lack of better word) is never going to happen. I think its going to be through this HECI driver, but it looks like whatever support was being put into that has flat lined.
