Howdy, I got the new Nvidia Quadro P1000 video card in the other day. I got it installed. I was using the nouveau drivers in the kernel. They weren't up to the task. The display was slow and the mouse pointer was also slow to respond and jerky like. So, I downloaded and installed the Nvidia drivers and the response is hugely better. I expected those to include the drivers needed for the fan and temp sensors but it appears not. When I boot a kernel with the nouveau drivers, running sensors prints the fan and temp data for the video card. I know the card supports this, haven't seen a video card in ages that doesn't tho. So, what drivers do I need in the kernel to support the temp and fan data? I've enabled everything Nvidia I can find so it must be called something else and searching isn't helping any. Part of kernel config.

I've also searched the Nvidia website and searched but nothing says the name of the drivers needed. Maybe I'm missing something else. Oh, I also tried a slightly older Nvidia driver just to see if it was maybe a bug in the newer version. No help. Also, when I start the GUI and open the Nvidia software, it doesn't show the temp and fan info either. It's just blank. Any ideas? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
