 I have tried again, but still seem to have just the one temperature
showing. Have managed to get it into conky via
http://conky.linux-hardcore.com/?page_id=393

But it shows the same value as acpitemp. 

I notice that running sensors-detect wants to add the findings
to /etc/modules, but then this is the only thing in that file. Is it
possible that things have moved in ubuntu 10.1?
