This library provides the NV-CONTROL API for communicating with the proprietary NVidia xorg driver. This package does not contain the nvidia-settings tool itself as that is included with the proprietary drivers themselves. --- Notice to reviewers, yes you've read it correctly this library is of no use except to users of the proprietary nvidia driver, why include it in Fedora then? 1) Its foss (GPL) 2) Its needed for applications like for example gnome-applet-sensors to read the temperature sensors on nvidia cards whe using the proprietary driver. So this enhances the end user experience of applications like gnome-applet-sensors, which is included in Fedora, for users of the proprietary driver, and has no downside. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
