I tried to install and use lm_sensors but it don't detect any sensors.
Moreover, I think it's a problem of acpi or the kernel configuration because on my debian, I don't use lm_sensors, just acpi.

May be detection is bad made or may be cpu id bad used, but top show me that:
top - 23:01:52 up 23 min,  6 users,  load average: 0.28, 0.25, 0.25
Tasks:  86 total,   3 running,  82 sleeping,   0 stopped,   1 zombie
Cpu(s): 10.3%us, 1.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 69.4%id, 16.9%wa, 1.7%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st
Mem:    448112k total,   305916k used,   142196k free,    29056k buffers
Swap:   747012k total,        0k used,   747012k free,   161780k cached

and acpi -t:
Thermal 1: ok, 65.0 degrees C

And at this state, on debian, the thermal is at 53 degrees C so and don't understand.

Is there some option to activate in the kernel to support better the thermal or cpu use?

(I'm using a mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP2400+, 1788.817Mhz)

Thank you for your help!

I check the temperatures whith acpi:

I think some chipset don't give the temperature directly, actually return a
numerical value and you have to
run a math formula to calculate the correct temperatura.

With the app lmsensors

*  sys-apps/lm_sensors
     Latest version available: 2.10.1
     Latest version installed: 2.10.1
     Size of downloaded files: 2,663 kB
     Homepage:    http://www.lm-sensors.org/
     Description: Hardware Monitoring user-space utilities
     License:     GPL-2

in the file /etc/lmsensors.conf you must config the formula

With acpi I don't know how configurate, but I think you can use lmsensors to
read acpi information.

If you don't find how to configure acpi, try lmsensors
