I don't know. but the following should help... I hope it does :)

root@wheejy:/# sensors-detect 
No i2c device files found.

root@wheejy:/# sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +57.5°C  (crit = +126.0°C)

nouveau-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +79.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +110.0°C)


I can add that these 2 values (79 and 57) are actually the ones
displayed by the applet. both the "sensors" and "sensors-detect"
programs are part of the "lm-sensors" package.

Can you guys make some sense out of these informations ? 

:)

thx
Joao
