While I love these daily discussions on VDPAU... getting back on topic...

lm_sensors is not needed to grab CPU temperature.  While lm_sensors will 
give you access to additional fan, voltage, and thermal sensors on the 
motherboard, CPU temperature should be available on any kernel with a 
proper ACPI implementation. Check under 
'/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature' or 
'/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp'.
