NVidia Device Monitor

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

This is a simple NVidia Device Monitor. It displays card model, temperature and gpu's memory occupation.
Proprietary drivers are required.
Depends on KDE >= 4.8.

The tar file contains a separate folder with the plasma data engine only. I think it's useful for those who want to to write other plasmoids for the same purpose, maybe with a more polite interface. Data engine is written in c++, applet is written in QML.

(This is my first plasmoid, I hope it's useful.)

INSTALLATION:
extract the tar.gz file, then execute install-for-current-user.sh script or install-for-global.sh script.

otherwise:
mkdir build
cd build

1. install for global
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
make
make install (with root, use kdesu, sudo, su, anything you like)
kbuildsycoca4 (for refresh the list)

2. install for current user
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --localprefix` ..
make
make install
kbuildsycoca4 (for refresh the list)

Ok, I fix it (in fact, same problem as lenny04)

I've also added the speed fan and the driver version. A screen of the modified version is here:

I updated to the latest nvidia drivers (330.38) last night, and now the applet does not display memory stats anymore.

Any ideas?

May you make it available through GHNS?

Yes, I intend to do, but, for some reason, I cannot access the ghns.freedesktop.org site, so cannot study the specification. Consider that I am new in plasmoid and kde development...
Any suggestion?
