Thanks for working on this. I just tested it on my Core Duo laptop (an
IBM/Lenovo X60s with an L2400 @ 1.66GHz) - it doesn't seem to provide
useful readings:

$ uname -a
FreeBSD lothlorien.brixandersen.dk 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #63: Wed Aug 15 22:13:01 CEST 2007     root at lothlorien.brixandersen.dk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LOTHLORIEN  i386

$ dmesg | grep coretemp
coretemp0: <CPU On-Die Thermal Sensors> on cpu0
coretemp1: <CPU On-Die Thermal Sensors> on cpu1

$ sysctl dev.cpu.0.temperature
dev.cpu.0.temperature: -50

$ sysctl dev.cpu.1.temperature
dev.cpu.1.temperature: -49

The readings approach zero as the temperature of the CPU rises:

$ sysctl dev.cpu.0.temperature
dev.cpu.0.temperature: -37

$ sysctl dev.cpu.1.temperature
dev.cpu.1.temperature: -38

The ACPI thermal zones seem to provide much more realistic readings:

$ sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 65.0C

$ sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.tz1.temperature
hw.acpi.thermal.tz1.temperature: 67.0C

Regards,
Brix
