Hello all!
It's been a while since the last time I posted here 
Right now I'm updating @world on my PowerMac G5. It's amazing all the things that have changed in months, new Python, new Glibc... In the meantime, I wanted to work in parallel in other things.
One that's been puzzling me is how to monitor the temperature of this guy, especially considering everything that is 'emerging' these days.
lm-sensors does not detect anything that can show me the current temperature.

Either your system has no sensors, or they are not supported, or
they are connected to an I2C or SMBus adapter that is not
supported. If you find out what chips are on your board, check
https://hwmon.wiki.kernel.org/device_support_status for driver status.

I've a custom built kernel (5.15.102-gentoo), and I've been poking around in /sys founding these interesting values:
| Code: |
# cat /sys/devices/platform/windfarm.0/cpu-diode-temp-0
64.675
# cat /sys/devices/platform/windfarm.0/cpu-diode-temp-1
63.335

So, I guess that covers the temperature on the CPU and also there is another value for ambient temperature and fan status.
I can create a script to get all this info displayed easily. But, do you happen to know anything I can use in X that can give me these readings? I saw GNOME sensors applet could be an option, but I'm more interested in lightweight desktop environments.
Currently, I don't have a graphical environment yet. I replaced the original Radeon 9650 with a NVIDIA GeForce 6800, so I'm also re-emerging all to match this new configuration.
In this regard, another question is about temperature and fan monitor (even control if we can) on the GeForce 6800. I'm afraid I couldn't find it.
Can anyone point me where I can see these values?
I'm using nouveau as the driver.
