Hi Yohan,

Thank you very much for that hint...I had never thought of that
possibility as I recognized nvidia-settings as a gui application 
only... :)

Best regards,

the nvidia configuration utility (nvidia-settings) displays this info under 
the Thermal Settings tab. AFAIK is also a way to get it to print the info to 
STDOUT .. just mess arround with the cmd line arguments to nvidia-settings.

[gentoo-user] How to read fan speed of my graphics card?

2012-02-24 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

to supervise the speed of the two fans of my Nvidia GTX 560 Ti (made
by MSI) graphics card I need a way to read it in userland.

I tried lm_sensors for this but without any success -- but I have to
admit of not haveing much knowledge about these things, though. That
is the reason for asking for help here.

How can I accomplish this? With what I can experiment for this
purpose?

Thank you very much in advance for any help or hint!
Have a  nice weekend!
Best regards,
mcc
