toshiba lib no thermal update

hi there.

the thermal sensor on a libretto 110ct doesn't seem to work. at initialization it get's read out right, but refuses to update, it stays at the bootup value then.

i get some error about AE_NOT_FOUND at bootup, but nothing about THRM, and they don't seem to be critical - throttling, buttoncontrol and sleep states (except hibernation) work - and the acpi function on this rather old box may not be that well supported;)?

i've tried various kernels from the 2.4 and 2.6 series, but that didn't solve the problem. has this shown up somewhere before or can anybody give me a hint how to fix this?

please CC me to jkerdawn at yahoo dot com since i'm not on the list.

thanks a lot.
ritch.
