[ltp] R40 - acpi - CPU temp

[Jérôme]

As I bought my new comp recently, a R4O with a P4M 1.9G and assuming I'm 
an regular AMD user, I was wondering about the CPU temp on my laptop...
I enable ACPI in the kernel (2.4.21) and installed acpid (debian SID 
version) and I did a $cat /proc/acpi/thermal/0/status
It returned a temperature : 3322dK
I interpreted it as deci Kelvin assuming that Temp in °kelvin = Temp in 
°Celsius - 273
The temp in C is 59.2°C (332.2-273)
I found this really high and was wondering if I had something else to 
check ... The fan was apparently not working, it does however 
sometimes... Do I have to set some things for acpid, is that normal, is 
the value returned correct?
Please, enlight me :)
