lm_sensors problem

Well, I'm trying to add some CPU temp monitoring to my conky config, but I can't seem to get lm_sensors working. I run sensors-detect but when I open up /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors which it supposedly wrote to, there are no modules there. Since I'm not familiar with how it parses the file, I can't just manually add in the modules that it detected, so any advice on where to go from here?

try this:

 cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature 
temperature:             56 C
