Has there been any progress on these very old bugs? On Wednesday, 12.

There is now a separate libxnvctrl-dev package (in contrib) containing the headers and a static library - this stuff was not really suited to the nvidia-settings package. In case there are more things missing (more headers, another library, ... there might be some additional code available in the nvidia-settings source package), please let me know. If you need a shared library, a patch would be welcome, I never looked into the creation of shared libraries. > > I think we decided in > > <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=434887> that that way > > to fix this is to make the various sensors-applet modules into DSOs that > > can be dlopen'd ... This has happened inbetween ... so someone needs to write a nvidia module for sensors-applet which needs to go into contrib ... On Tuesday, 24.
