I got it to work here. Here's what I did. Since Ubuntu's package maintainers have screwed up and included nvidia-settings within the nvidia-glx package, the nvidia-settings package conflicts with it.
Also the nvidia-settings program itself is much newer in the nvidia-glx package, and supports more features. So step one was to download the nvidia- settings_1.0+20060516-3ubuntu1_i386.deb package and extract it with 'dpkg -x nvidia-settings_1.0+20060516-3ubuntu1_i386.deb nvidia' This extracts the package into the 'nvidia' folder. Then just 'cd nvidia/usr' and 'sudo cp -r include /usr' then 'sudo cp -r lib /usr/' Step Two. Run 'sudo apt-get build-dep sensors-applet'. This will fetch MOST of the packages needed to build this. The last thing missing is the nvidia-glx-dev package. If you don't install this, the build will fail. Create a directory, or go into /usr/src where I always put my source packages, and then do 'sudo apt-get source sensors-applet'. This will grab the source packages. We aren't building it yet, we have to change a file first. So go into the directory sensors-applet-1.7.10+dfsg and then 'sudo nano debian/rules' (If you prefer Gedit, use that instead of Nano.) Then simply add at the end of the file, '--with-nvidia' and save it (control+X in Nano) Next step is to finally build the package. You should still be in the sensors-applet directory, just run 'sudo dpkg-buildpackage' and it'll run it's course and create a .deb file. Just 'sudo dpkg -i sensors- applet_1.7.10+dfsg-1_i386.deb' Then magically you should have your sensors working! Well assuming you've used the lm-sensors script 'sensor-detect' and set up the sensors. I'll attach the deb package, but I don't think it'll work without the libraries from the nvidia-settings package, though I could be wrong.
