Discouraging, but good news... all is already done. So, the best will be to port there code to FreeBSD, something like additionnal package to avoid GPL'ed code in the kernel distribution. But, if someone wants to rewrite it... this is not a problem. Controller drivers (PIIX4, VIA) will need particular attention since they're inside the kernel. Thanks to Takanori's work, we'll soon have the PIIX4 support. I don't know yet if the monitoring chips (LMxx and so) are supported with user-land code or kernel code. We initially planed to do this at user level. > >Appears someone is already trying to do it for Linux.. maybe these can be >ported some, not sure.. I hope this we'll be mostly an integration issue.

You could take charge of the GUI interfaces once we have defined kernel/user-low-level interfaces. Depending on there distribution we'll have to make a package or what else specific to FreeBSD. -- nsouch@teaser.fr / nsouch@freebsd.org FreeBSD - Turning PCs into workstations - http://www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
