Description Lee Trager 2005-06-04 23:48:27 UTC
In the latest version of the nvidia drivers a new feature to nvidia-settings was
added called cool-bits. While the driver was updated promptly nvidia-settings
was forgotten.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Norman Jonas 2005-06-09 05:17:42 UTC
Another important reason to update to the new version is that the temperature
display doesn't work anymore when using latest driver with the old version of
nvidia-settings ( at least for me ).
Comment 2 Dick Marinus 2005-06-11 10:57:44 UTC
A binary version of nvidia-settings is distributed with the NVIDIA driver, try:

$ cd /tmp

$ bash /usr/portage/distfiles/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7664-pkg0.run --extract-only

$ NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7664-pkg0/usr/bin/nvidia-settings

I still don't have the 'CoolBits' property page though
Comment 3 mergus_j_alfonz 2005-06-11 16:14:38 UTC
I'm in the same situation as comment #3. If i use the extracted binary no
coolbits for me either (Xorg.conf summary of settings below). Does anyone know
of a solution to using the binary and getting coolbits working or even better...
 does anyone know where the updated nvidia-settings source code is so i could
attempt to knock up a proposed ebuild (i tried the offical Nvidia site but the
source code seems way out of date)

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "GeforceCard"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    Option "Coolbits" "1"
EndSection
Comment 4 Lee Trager 2005-06-11 22:16:27 UTC
I know that you can extract nvidia-settings from the pacakge but the point of
this bug is to get it into portage. As for the coolbits part try filing another
bug or looking on the forums(forums,gentoo.org or nvnews.net)
Comment 5 Dick Marinus 2005-06-12 08:53:21 UTC
I'm sorry for hijacking your bug. :)   
 
Try version bumping nvidia settings and download  
  
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-settings/nvidia-settings-1.0.tar.gz, 
rename it to nvidia-settings-1.0.7664.tar.gz 
Comment 6 Lee Trager 2005-06-12 22:31:31 UTC
That seems to work, I even have overclocking now. Anyway can someone get this
into portage now?
Comment 7 Lee Trager 2005-06-21 16:10:21 UTC
Created attachment 61685 [details]
nvidia-settings-1.0.7664 fetching directly from nvidia

I modded the ebuild so i fetches nvidia-settings directly from nvidia. After
putting this into /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-settings remember to run
ebuild /usr/portage/media-video/nvidia-settings/nvidia-settings-1.0.7664.ebuild
digest

Hopefully now this will get into portage.
Comment 8 Lee Trager 2005-06-21 18:29:55 UTC
For some reason the new version is in portage under the version number
1.0.20050525. Anyway just do an update and you'll have it.
