This is bad advice at the moment. ACPI has some memory leaks and
eventually will deplete device buffer memory. It is under heavy
development and nowhere near consumable quality.
Don't run with ACPI unless you are writing me some diffs.

In that case, you should probably give -current snapshots a spin.
There has been quite a bit of work on ACPI since 3.8. Apart from the
list/source-changes archives, you may want to take a look at several
articles at undeadly.org regarding ACPI.
but there is no 'sensors' sub under 'hw'. It seems that this is
because my hardware is not supported because it works fine on
my workstation for the temperature stuff.
Possibly, you have lm(4) or other sensor devices on your workstation.
The sysctl output should show you which sensor it uses.
Is there any way to get the battery-values? I bootet knoppix 4.0
and it was able to display my battery-values in KDE [...]
Fortunately, that means your hardware itself is probably OK. You
should really try a -current snapshot to see whether ACPI support will
work for you.
