I've been using the port "xmbmon" for that, in combination with device smbus device iicbus device iicsmb device iicbb device iic in the kernel configuration file - on a Pentium 4 system. I haven't tried the sysctl method, because xmbmon did work out of the box. :-) You can also use mbmon for text output. Here's an example from ~/.xinitrc calling xmbmon: xmbmon -g 150x100+0+897 \ -tmin 20.0 -tmax 70.0 \ -cmtmb CPU -cltmb blue \ -cmtcpu CS -cltcpu cyan \ -cmtcs SYS -cltcs green \ -vmin 2.0 -vmax 3.0 -cmvc V -clvc red & Depending on the sensor installation of your particular system, check if the different values do match the hardware. Maybe check from within your CMOS setup for reference values. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
