Submitted the nvidia-kernel 280.13 update and ran into a glitch: per this lists recommendation, I created /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf to automatically load the nvidia module if /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d is empty and there is no xorg.conf. The consensus was that anything in the latter locations will override 10-nvidia.conf. This was decided so that driver upgrades would not break any local customizations.<br>
<br>However, the one setting that does not override is "Coolbits." If I specify Coolbits in 10-nvidia.conf, I can adjust the fan speed (see below); if I leave it out, I cannot adjust the speed even though xorg.conf has the correct entries. The device section in xorg.conf appears to be ignored if it also appear in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d. Deleting /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf restored the normal function of xorg.conf (and presumably xorg.conf.d)<br>
<br>Section "Device"<br> Identifier "Device0"<br> Driver "nvidia"<br> VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"<br> BoardName "GeForce GT 430"<br> Option "Coolbits" "5"<br>
EndSection<br clear="all"><br>Recommendation: delete /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf if you need to use xorg.conf and/or xorg.conf.d otherwise you should be ok if you use nvidia-settings fro all adjustments.<br>
<br>I'll send in a patch for the readme ASAP once I figure out how to say it in an concise and still accurate manner.<br><br>-- <br>You! What PLANET is this!<br> -- McCoy, "The City on the Edge of Forever", stardate 3134.0<br>
