Thanks... but!

[adam@gremlin /home/adam]$ mbmon
No Hardware Monitor found!!
InitMBInfo: Unknown error: 0

lmmon detects '255C' and so I'm guessing it's not reading values correctly.

[adam@gremlin /home/adam]# sysctl !$
sysctl hw.acpi.thermal
hw.acpi.thermal.min_runtime: 0
hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate: 10
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 3240
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active: 0
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.thermal_flags: 0
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._PSV: 3630
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._HOT: -1
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT: 3680
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._ACx: 3130 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1

I'm not sure that any of these values are of much help!  Anyone have any
further ideas? :)
