As i have a motherboard with VIA chipsets so i put the following in the config file: device iicbb device iicbus device iicsmb device smbus device smb device viapm (directly taken from the manual of viapm) Next boot 'viapropm' is detected. I tried playing with many utils (xmbmon, lmmon, healthd, even tried to use cpqhealth but it's only for linux) but there's no way: i cannot get any infos from my MB. What is more strange is that when i touch some stuff in my kernel config (i add 'device snp' 'pseudo-device gzip' 'pseudo-device vn' and remove 'device usb') the 'viapropm' detection at boot disapears! and instead there's isab1: at device 7.4 on pci0 0x30571106 is the chipID of VIA 82C686 power management chipsets but it's detected as a bridge (i don't have a lot of knowledge in hardware so i don't know if this good), here is a pciconf -lv line about this chipset: isab1@pci0:7:4: class=0x060100 card=0x00000000 chip=0x30571106 rev=0x30 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies, Inc' device = VT82C686A/B ACPI Power Management Controller' class = bridge subclass = PCI-ISA i don't know if this detected correctly, it's why I ask you, but if this the case it could be the reason why every utils i tried fail. In my oppinion, i think there is a way to obtain the MB (or CPU) temprature as on a laptop when the computer is too hot, the fan goes up; but maybe it's not directly retrievable. -- Aurélien PS: As always, sorry for the bad english :p To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
