Add support for AMD GPUs

[SuicSoft]

My laptop has a integrated Radeon 7640G (though it is integrated it was quiet powerful when it was new).When playing NeverBall with GLXOSD I can only see the CPU temperatures , not the GPU temperature.

I am using fglrx.

Maybe this can help : http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~alexmurray/indicator-sensors/master/files

Unfortunately, as I don't have an AMD graphics card, I won't be able to write a plugin myself.

As much as I hate saying this, but: contributions welcome. I just don't see how I would develop for hardware I do not have myself.

@nickguletskii So where's the code for showing the temperature text ?

[nickguletskii]

Here's how GLXOSD interfaces with NVML, the NVIDIA management library:

@nickguletskii I can try but I won't be able to add the fan speed since I have a laptop. And also how do I build GLXOSD

[nickguletskii]

You don't need to build it to write a plugin. You can use the existing binaries and just change the scripts.

@nickguletskii I have GLXOSD installed on my laptop.So where are the plugins located (you say I don't have to build it)

[nickguletskii]

The plugins are usually located in /usr/share/glxosd/glxosd/plugins/. Basically, the /usr/share/glxosd/glxosd/ maps to https://github.com/nickguletskii/GLXOSD/tree/master/src/glxosd

@nickguletskii Is there any guide for programming the LUA plugins.I know how to get the temperature but I don't know what to change / add

Anyone here ?
