 Thank you Javier for that information.
 I just checked: On my board, all the other functions of the super-IO =
 chip that I have easy access to seem to be working: Parallel port (it =
 has an old printer attached), and PS/2 keyboard.  I can't test the =
 floppy controller easily.  Fan control from the BIOS works.  Have never =
 installed temperature/voltage/fan monitoring software in FreeBSD, so I =
 don't know whether that part works.
 But at least, the super-IO chip on my motherboard is not completely =
 fried.
 Googling finds that the same Fintek super-IO chip is used on many other =
 motherboards, not all with Atom CPUs. Likely this bug (if it is one) is =
 not specific to the motherboard/CPU combination, but to the super-IO =
 chip.=
