Offhand I'm not sure what backwards compatibility complications there would
be with changing to handle this new nvidia-settings api change.  It's something
I'll have to investigate.

But there's an alternative I think I would rather promote.  I'm leaning towards using the
nvidia-smi command as the primary way to get nvidia GPU temps since the nvidia-smi
command executes much faster than nvidia-settings.

What output do you get from running:

	nvidia-smi -q -a
