[b]Features:[/b]
supported thermal sources:
 - the Linux ACPI Thermal Zone driver. The
corresponding kernel module is called thermal.

for the IBM ThinkPad laptops. The corresponding
kernel module is called ibm-acpi.
 - the IBM Hard Drive Active Protection System
(HDAPS) driver. The corresponding kernel module is
called hdaps.
 - the Omnibook Configuration Tools & Patches. The
corresponding kernel module is called omnibook.
 - the iBook G4 CPU and GPU thermal zones. It may
work on other Apple machines as well (please let
me know).
 - the thermal sensors available through hwmon
(I2C, lm_sensors, ...).
 - the CPU thermal sensor of the i8k kernel driver
for Dell Inspiron and Latitude notebooks.
 - the GPU thermal sensors of nvidia-settings
(provided by the nVidia GPU card driver tools)
 - the termal sensors provided by hddtemp daemon
(make sure hddtemp runs on 127.0.0.1 port 7634
before kima starts)

supported frequency sources:
 - the Linux kernel /proc/cpuinfo interface
 - the Linux kernel cpufreq subsystem

supported fan sources:
 - the fan sensors available through hwmon (I2C,
lm_sensors, ...).

the IBM ThinkPad laptops. The corresponding kernel
module is called ibm-acpi.
 - the fan sources of the i8k kernel driver for
Dell Inspiron and Latitude notebooks.
