Hi,

Does anyone have success in getting a hw monitoring program (you know,
cpu temp, fan speeds, etc) working with the MSI RS480M2-IL (aka MS-7093)
motherboard?

I'm running FreeBSD 6.0-stable / amd64 o this motherboard. There
shouldn't be any difference from running the i386 version, with regards
to hardware monitoring?

I have tried xmbmon from ports, but it just says:
root at kg-quiet# mbmon -d -A
Summary of Detection:
 * No monitors found.
InitMBInfo: Unknown error: 0
This program needs "setuid root"!!

I really don't know why it prints that last line, the program is setuid
root already:
root at kg-quiet# ls -l `which mbmon`
-r-sr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  52064 Dec 25 13:34 /usr/local/bin/mbmon

A 'mbmon -D' gives:
root at kg-quiet# mbmon -D

No Hardware Monitor found!!
InitMBInfo: Unknown error: 0

Does anybody know what hw monitoring chip this motherboard have? 
And where that chip is connected? Is it connected to the SMbus
controller in the SB400 southbridge?

I tried Google, buth couldn't find any good info.
