    Does anyone know of definitive documentation of the thermal sensor acpi for a T61? Which sensors are which? ThinkWiki suggests a certain order of the sensors but it does not seem to make sense with the output i get from:
    Code: 
    $ cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal
    My output is something like this:
    Code: 
    temperatures:	45 42 33 53 34 -128 31 -128 37 43 40 -128 -128 -128 -128 -128
    ThinkWiki seems to suggest that position 4 should be unused, but my output does not reflect that.
    It seems crazy that the only way to determine these things is to crack it open and poke and prod and test... is this really not documented anywhere?
    Any insight would be awesome. Thanks!
