2.6.18-5-686 and two questions about temperature of my laptop, :-)

First, the lm-sensors doesn't work ok, the "sensors-detect" detect some
sensor, they are the lm75, 80 y 84. But when I call "xsensors" I see
all the Temperatures and Voltages at 0 C.

Second, My question is how can I know which application or process
cause the temperature to came up and stay up.
Viewing the file "/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature" I can see
the temperature. The temperature currently is 49 C, but if I see a movie
the temperature up to 57 C or more and after see the movie the
temperature come down to 51 C and stay there. So ..., can I know which
process still burning my laptop after I finish to see the movie?


If you use top, you'll see the CPU idle % presumably go down during the
movie watching, and return to (hopefully) near 100% idle when you're
done watching the movie. Assuming that is the case, the only other
thing that could keep the temperature up beyond the time when it should
have cooled down would be that the system is using frequency throttling
and it isn't being slowed down after watching the movie. Since I don't
have a laptop I don't throttle my CPU so I don't know where to see this
info.
