I've run into a problem with this. nvclock eats a big chunk of CPU and it adds 4 seconds to the gkrellm start up time. Running it at the sensor check interval puts more of a load on the CPU than I want gkrellm to do. Maybe you can confirm this on your box in case there's something unusual about my setup? I get: ~$ time nvclock -T nVidia Geforce 7600GS => GPU temperature: 75C real 0m1.991s user 0m1.870s sys 0m0.117s and on another box it goes up to 3.6 seconds real. If you get similar results you can get an idea of the effect this would have in gkrellm by running: $ while true; do nvclock -T -c 2; sleep 4; done and watch the gkrellm CPU chart. I get over 1 second 100% CPU bursts every 5 seconds - ouch! This is nvclock 0.8b2-1 from Debian. Do you see this?
