the 2 modules are kernel modules

it87                   26936  0
hwmon_vid               3648  1 it87

and once i made the kernel with the hwmon_vid i suddenly got temps on both cards.
i dont use the nvidia-settings. i ran it once in the past 2 yrs just to look at it and see 
what it offered.

i do use nvclock to manually set the fan speeds on both cards since the mfgr defaults are 
just plain stupid.they go for 'quiet' at the expense of burning the card up sooner than it 
should. i run them at 85% in winter and 100% in summer. my take is quiet is not to be had 
if you want to run a powerful computer. the heat is just too much... if you want to run a 
'supercomputer' on your desk you need to put up with the mini jet engine fan volume.

these are my results from the above test

gkrellm -d 0x80

both give errors on libsensors for cpu0_vid. i have no idea how my local gkrellm gets the 
vid temps but on the gtx285 it gives me board ambient and gpu temp and gpu temp on the 
tesla. i have verified both are accurate by comparing their readout with nvidia-settings
