Here's a sort of "me too".  I have an older ASUS mb (A7V133).  I haven't
tried to install anything like Ksensors because I don't see anything useful
in /proc/acpi (which might be Robert Spangler's problem also).  That info
exists; the BIOS shows it and MSWindows was able to show it.  I'm just too
new to Linux to know what to do about it.
