39 Hi Alexander Kapshuk,
40 You probably don't need that module.
41 Grep your dmesg for therm|thermal. You should see ACPI registering
42 your thermal zones:
43 [ 1.424899] thermal LNXTHERM:00: registered as thermal_zone0
44 [ 1.424944] ACPI: Thermal Zone [TZS0] (32 C)
45
46 then look for them in:
47 /sys/class/thermal/
48 /sys/bus/acpi/devices/LNXTHERM:00/thermal_zone/temp
49
50 if not check your kernel config for needed options like:
51 CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y
52
53 Regards,
54 Dragostin Yanev
