The first number corresponds with the ACPI THM0 temperature, but I can't see anything corresponding to THM1. Is there something that documents what all the temperatures are measuring in an X60? Thinkwiki doesn't seem to have any info. ezr:pts/1; cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal temperatures: 72 55 -128 65 40 -128 35 -128 51 53 -128 -128 -128 -128 -128 -128 > You can also use /proc/acpi/ibm/fan to check the fan's state.

Presumably that means its tied into the temperature sensors and will be able to keep the temp under control... J
