Bug#375179: sensors-applet: NVidia support
I've played around with libXNVCtrl a bit and it seems that it just
doesn't work on my card. Could you please try the attached program and
see if you get the same failure that I do (XNVCTRLQueryAttribute
assertion failed)?

Bug#375179: sensors-applet: NVidia support
Package: sensors-applet Version: 1.6.2-1 Severity: wishlist Hello there, I'd like to ask how likely is it to have NVidia support on future versions of sensors-applet. I have tried to compile it myself starting from debianized sources and adding the --with-nvidia flag to debian/rules, but compilation stopped complaining about missing nvidia libraries (that should be provided with package nvidia-settings, which I have installed). So I downloaded the latest available nvidia-settings package from nvidia.com, compiled libXNVCtrl myself, put the headers in /usr/include/NVCtrl but I guess version is not correct since compilation stops with an error about (I guess) a function in the header file. libXNVCtrl includes are properly recognized. It is probably a problem that should be fixed in nvidia-settings, prior to sensors-applet (for which the fix is trivial, i.e. adding --with-nvidia flag).

Bug#375179: sensors-applet: NVidia support
The two problems with NVidia support are: 1. The nvidia-settings package does not ship the libXNVCtrl library 2. nvidia-settings is in contrib; depending on it would mean sensors-applet would have to go to contrib as well Once libXNVCtrl is shipped by nvidia-setting, I intend to provide simple instructions in the README.Debian on how to recompile the sensors-applet package to enable NVidia support. -- Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
