This is in response to Kian’s recent haikunews.org. Sorry I haven’t been around on BeShare — it’s a bit distracting. My e-mail still works, though…

At the current time, it will read the temperaturs from any thermal zones that have temperatures. These could be system board, processor core, sensors attached to fans, etc. It all depends on your system configuration, motherboard, and it’s ACPI support.

Systems will have an arbitrary number of thermal zones. Some laptops have two or three, some servers have four or more, some systems only have one. Some don’t have -any-. It all depends. I’m currently working on getting the devices associated with the thermal zone’s temperature, which is what the recent changes committed tuesday were the beginning of. Hopefully I’ll be able to get that working tonight, and then we’ll really start having some fun.
