OK, my bad for not seeing sensors in the list of things I could configure in gkrellm. I'm now getting 1 fan speed and 2 temp readings. One temp said 32C while the other said 68C. I ran glxgears for 5 minutes and watched those move to 33C & 70.5C. There's a bit of a thermal lag. After I turned off glxgears the temp continued to go up for about 1 more minute and has now started down slowly. I suppose now the thing to do would be to run this on all the systems with 2.6.12-gentoo-r6/r9 and then see about building one of the earlier kernels and look for differences. Thanks for the clues.
