It's very likely an ACPI configuration problem (with the motherboard/ motherboard BIOS). I have some Asus boards which claim to support the ACPI thermal zone stuff, but an ACPI configuration dump shows the value being returned as a static 40C (e.g. the value is hard-coded and isn't tied to any hardware). You could use acpidump -d to confirm this. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
