Comment 6 for bug 59945

Well, nvidia-settings in Ubuntu does not ship the necessary C include files and static library files, so first, that must be fixed.

Secondly, enabling NVIDIA support would be an Ubuntu-specific change to the package, so the Ubuntu packager would have to make it.

Thirdly, NVIDIA support barely works anyway. libXNVCtrl fails to read the sensors on my graphics card--see the Debian bug report for more info.
