Following is copied for http://www.linuxhardware.org/nvclock/

Sunday January 4 2009
Due to huge demand I'm releasing a new version of NVClock. NVClock 0.8 (beta4) offers support for the latest cards and improves functionality for current models like smartdimmer support for Geforce8/9 boards and fanspeed adjustment / temperature monitoring on most Geforce8/9/GT200 cards. I would like to thank Michael Vassiliadis for his smartdimmer debugging and neldoreth for testing the fanspeed code. Further I would like to thank everyone who performed tests for me as myself I don't have access to much Nvidia hardware (mostly nv4x cards and a fanless 8600gt.

# Changes: Initial GT200 support
# Smartdimmer support for various Geforce8/9 laptops from Sony, Samsung, HP and Apple
# Added an smartdimmer program to replace the original smartdimmer 0.1 program by Erik Wahling
# Bios dumping using PRAMIN to prevent flickering
# Bios parsing fixes for newer Geforce9/GT200 bioses
# Fanspeed adjustment on various Geforce8/9/GT200 cards
# Use of video bios sensor calibration data on Geforce6-GT200 cards
# Improved support for internal GPU diode temperature on G84/G86/G94/G96 cards
# Fixed NV-CONTROL crash in nvclock_gtk
# Many small bugfixes


Reproducible: Always

Reassigning to maintainer-needed...
Comment 2 Alexander Bezrukov 2009-03-05 00:30:08 UTC 
Just a note: nothing special to add beta4 is needed, just copy nvclock-0.8_beta2.ebuild and generate a digest.

Thank you.

I can confirm that NVClock 0.8 (beta4) works fine at least on my hardware (Quadro FX 3500) and architecture.

Portage 2.1.6.7 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1, 2.6.27-gentoo-r8-alb x86_64)
=================================================================
System uname: Linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r8-alb-x86_64-Dual_Core_AMD_Opteron-tm-_Processor_285-with-glibc2.2.5

Maybe a candidate for declaring stable.

beta4 is now in the tree - thanks for the pointer.

regarding stabling of the beta4 ebuild: if nobody reports a bug against the ebuild, a stable request can be filed 30 days from now (ie. on 10. of april).
please do so.

thanks for your help
kind regards
Thilo
