I suppose that the plugin supports various drivers. Since you are using nouveau, it outputs a name related to nouveau. > I don't have any other sensor source coming from "*nvidia*" or "*nv*". > I'm wondering how this lib can work without the official driver, and if it's > not related to the nouveau bug I have ? I suppose that the plugin calls a function of this lib only if it detects that the nvidia driver is used. But even if the plugin doesn't use this lib, the lib must be present so that it can be linked against the plugin at load time (an alternative way for the plugin would be to use dlopen(), in which case the lib would not be needed, but I suppose that this is not the method used by the plugin). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
