Well, you did ask for another method to check whether or not Nvidia support is compiled into Conky, and that's the only method I can think of at the moment. :) I have indeed checked conky-std; conky-std does not recognize the ${nvidia} variable (i.e. it displays ${nvidia} verbatim on screen, whereas with conky-all, it displays the actual temperature of my Nvidia card). So I'm pretty confident that conky-std (and -cli) are not tainted by contrib/non-free components. - Vincent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
