Thanks, I'm now sure I figured that out. I've got Z61m and 
/proc/acpi/ibm/thermal output looks something like:
temperatures:   44 41 29 53 31 -128 29 -128 36 47 46 -128 -128 -128 -128 
-128
and values num, 5 and 6 are what you're talking about: 31°C and 29°C, 
not a big difference though, or is it?

Sorry about that. I know about the netiquette but I'm having problems 
with my client misbehaving (after I installed some cool extension it no 
longer checks with me whether it should send in plain text or html, even 
though all domains are set to plain txt).
Hopefully I got that sorted now... because once I press send I can't get 
it back if I realize my client tricked me again... grrr...
