Yes, bad design (of the available datasheet for VT1211).
VIA does not seem to provide an adequate documentation for the chip,
which is needed in order know on how to convert the raw data into
Kelvins. Their datasheet for VT1211 dated 2002-01-08, Revision 1.0
goes around the net (google VT1211 filetype:pdf), but it does not seem
to contain the magic formula.
And as there is no formula, the conversion table is thus guessed; so I
guess what you experience is the lack of conversion values for the
lower temperatures that the board has whilst idling.
tvc:sys {1134} grep -A3 uK /usr/src/sys/dev/isa/viasio.c
/* Convert to uK */
/* XXX: conversion function is guessed */
val = viasio_raw2temp(val);
if (val == -1) {
