acpi isn't so succesfull. I wouldn't count too much on it. I had serious problems once with acpi and temperature. It doesn't measure correctly the temperature and the laptop didn't boot because it thought the temperature is too high. So I disabled some features of acpi in the kernel.
acpi needs re-writing. is i2c enabled? the sensors of your hardware are detected? use sensors-detect command. the command sensors should work. There is another tool called gkrellm. I never used this, so I can't tell too much. http://members.dslextreme.com/users/billw/gkrellm/gkrellm.html besides the kernel, the motherboard should support as well (see in the link above).
