I think there is some confusion here: "coretemp" is a kernel module, and = all applications reading it will probably use the lm_sensors libraries.=20 (I don't think the hwmon module are related to ACPI) $ modinfo coretemp filename: /lib/modules/2.6.25-ARCH/kernel/drivers/hwmon/coretemp.ko= license: GPL description: Intel Core temperature monitor author: Rudolf Marek depends: vermagic: 2.6.25-ARCH SMP preempt mod_unload That said, I have two Core 2 CPUs (one mobile, one desktop) and the=20 values coretemp reports have not changed compared to earlier kernel=20 versions (around 60=B0C when idle on the mobile, much less on the desktop= ). > Also, do you see any change with and without kernel built with=20 CONFIG_THERMAL=3Dy? The values I see from ACPI thermal are also the same as before (this is=20 funny: they are always about 15=B0C cooler than the coretemp values). So I don't see a regression here, maybe the reporter should try a=20 vanilla kernel. --------------enig09A50DE316E4C90017CDAD28 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEAREIAAYFAkgMvJIACgkQEda5KzHP/VDyKgCgv4GkMdfiTPuP2d9hz2sNc201 p5UAn0aAabx23Ku8y5Wox54kp6jAnVao =iC1k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig09A50DE316E4C90017CDAD28--
