1 I tried to install and use lm_sensors but it don't detect any sensors.
2 Moreover, I think it's a problem of acpi or the kernel configuration because
3 on my debian, I don't use lm_sensors, just acpi.
4
5 May be detection is bad made or may be cpu id bad used, but top show me
6 that:
7 top - 23:01:52 up 23 min, 6 users, load average: 0.28, 0.25, 0.25
8 Tasks: 86 total, 3 running, 82 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie
9 Cpu(s): 10.3%us, 1.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 69.4%id, 16.9%wa, 1.7%hi, 0.0%si,
10 0.0%st

12 Swap: 747012k total, 0k used, 747012k free, 161780k cached
13
14 and acpi -t:
15 Thermal 1: ok, 65.0 degrees C
16
17 And at this state, on debian, the thermal is at 53 degrees C so and don't
18 understand.
19
20 Is there some option to activate in the kernel to support better the thermal
21 or cpu use?
22
23 (I'm using a mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP2400+, 1788.817Mhz)
24
25 Thank you for your help!

34 I think some chipset don't give the temperature directly, actually return a
35 numerical value and you have to
36 run a math formula to calculate the correct temperatura.
37
38 With the app lmsensors
39
40 * sys-apps/lm_sensors
41 Latest version available: 2.10.1

48 in the file /etc/lmsensors.conf you must config the formula
49
50 With acpi I don't know how configurate, but I think you can use lmsensors to
51 read acpi information.
52
53 If you don't find how to configure acpi, try lmsensors
