This is inconvenient but + does not affect program functionality. + + +NVidia thermal source notes: +============================ +By default the nvidia-settings tool is used to obtain the GPU temperature. +The configure switch "-with-nvcontrol=/absolute/path/to/libnvcontrol-dir" +can be used to increase Kimas performance. +Using this switch the libXNVCtrl.a gets statically compiled/linked into +libkima.so and is used to query the temperature(s) of your NVidia card. +The most recent nvidia-settings sourcecode can be downloaded +from: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-settings. + +Here is an usage example: +./configure --prefix=$(tde-config --prefix) --with-nvcontrol=/home/$USER/nvidia-settings-1.0/src/libXNVCtrl |
