Greetings, I'm trying to get Hardware Monitoring to work on my FreeBSD system but even when I follow instructions, it wont work. The utilities I'm trying to get to work are: consolehm-1.31_1 Console based hardware monitor for FreeBSD /usr/ports/sysutils/consolehm wmhm-1.45_1 WindowMaker dockable hardware monitor for FreeBSD /usr/ports/sysutils/wmhm wmlmmon-0.60 WM dock app to display info from MB power management contro /usr/ports/sysutils/wmlmmon The problems I get are: root@voyager:~> chm Failed to open /dev/smb0. root@voyager:~> wmhm Failed to open /dev/smb0. Possible reasons: - Your kernel does not support SMBUS. - You are not running wmhm suid root. - WMHM is already running. root@voyager:~> wmlmmon Failed to open device /dev/smb0. If your system does not support intpm(4), try to use /dev/io (-i flag) or check the permissions of /dev/smb0. According to man files I need the following in my kernel: controller smbus0 controller iicbus0 controller iicbb0 controller intpm0 device smb0 at smbus? Since I use FreeBSD 4.4, the above no longer exists in the kernel config, so, I've got these instead (some of them are probably not needed, but I added more and more to see if they where needed but with all these enabled, it still wouldn't work.) # SMB bus device smbus device intpm device alpm device ichsmb device smb # I2C Bus device iicbus device iicbb device ic device iic device iicsmb options HW_WDOG My motherboard is a Epox EP-7KXA and its got a VIA Apollo KX133 chipset. (Perhaps the Via chipsets are not supported at this time?) I've also tried to remove and recreate /dev/smb0 but nothing helps, still the same error. Any suggestions? Does anyone successfully monitor a VIA based board? cheers, Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
