Hello Erik,
you can be sure that I allready have a look on this module. What I need
now is a hint, on which device acpi graps to get the temperatur. There
is no direct-hw-access in thermal.c.

If I want to find this out manualy (by searching the source) I would
have to browse the whole acpi-family, and I dont have that time.

I have allready the hint, that maybe BIOS is the newsagent for ACPIs
tempatur-infos. But I dont know it exactly!

Gruss Christian
