There is no ACPI support in -stable, and -current has only rudimentary
support. However, APM should still function fine for you.

So, yes, you are correct: the controller isn't recognized by FreeBSD.

Evidently top posting is not a good thing. Ok from now
on I will try and remember to bottom post on any
future threads I participate in.

Jack,

I am not clear on what you are trying to say here. In
my config file I have the following line

device  apm0at nexus? disable flags 0x20 #
Advanced Power Management


Are you saying that it should actually be


device apm0at nexus? flags 0x20 #
 Advanced Power Management

?? In other words I need to take out the word disable?
If so kind of weird that they would have it be like
that. 

Thanks for the help.

After trying and failing to get the xmbmon port to 
work, I found that the author has a 2.0 version of 
xmbmon available at his website.  It's FreeBSD native, 
supports the latest motherboards, and is quite easy to 
install.  No extra SMBus stuff needed in the kernel.  
I just had to remove disable in the kernel line re
APM and put apm_enable=1 (or was it YES?) in
/etc/rc.conf.

The author also has FVCool, a CPU cooling utility.  It
reduces my CPU temp by 14 or 15 degrees C (from 46 to
32 or 31).  Again, it's native and easy to install.
(BTW, yes I do have CPU_SUSP_HLT in my kernel options.
 This utility is obviously doing something the kernel
option isn't.  The author says the same thing the
utility does can be accomplished with pciconf, but I
don't know how.)

Curious.  I wonder why xmbmon-2.0 isn't in ports yet?  The need, or
not for SMBus support in the kernel depends on exactly which chipset
you have on your motherboard.  Mine isn't supported through the ISA
bus, even with version 2.0, but the SMBus stuff just works.

Wow --- how cool is that?  Well, according to my temperature monitors,
it's 17.3 degC down from the previous day's average.  Doing the same
job with pciconf is a matter of working out by hand what registers to
alter on which device, but why bother when fvcool already knows the
answers?

Most likely it is an onboard card consult your BIOS (or your MB manual)
and look for an enabled feature, such as audio or video.

Yeah I do have that driver compiled into my kernel.I
guess that explains why my computer is alway on full
throdle. It will probably blow out in about six months
at this rate.  Well since freebsd does not recognize
my built in power management card, I wonder if someone
makea power management cards separately that are not
integrated on a mother board that freebsd would
recognize. I think the power management stuff is
important because if I am not mistaken it handles all
the standby mode stuff which not only safes power, but
also saves wear and tear.

 Hi Wayne,
 
 I'm not an expert on the power management stuff, but
 here is what I have in my
 kernel definitions about power management. If you
 have these lines and have 
 built a kernel with the apm0 device driver and
 things still don't work, I'm 
 out of ideas.
 
 # Power management support (see LINT for more
 options)
 device  apm0at nexus? disable flags 0x20 #
 Advanced Power Management
 
 Some time ago I decided to track down all the
 unknown card messages I had 
 been getting. That's how I found the
 www.yourvote.com/pci site. At the moment 
 I have all pci devices accounted for and have no
 unknown card messages.
 
 FreeBSD is frequently not completely up-to-date in
 supporting the latest 
 hardware, hey it's FREE. One particularly annoying
 area is X11 support for the 
 latest graphics cards. I have been careful to buy
 machines that have hardware 
 supported by FreeBSD, but it's always a bit of a
 gamble when buying a new 
 system.
 
 I have had good luck with the new Dell systems, by
 the way, as long as you 
 don't pick a graphics card that is too new for
 XFree86.
 
 I hope this is of some help,
 
 Brian

 So does that means that this ACPI Power Management
 Controller is not supported by freebsd? Or does it
 mean that I need to compile the corresponding
 device
 driver into the kernel and then it will be
 recognized
 by freebsd?

  Hi,
  
  I have this line in my dmesg output
  
  pci0: unknown card (vendor=0x1106, dev=0x3057)
 at
  7.4
  
  but the only cards that I have is one ethernet
 pci
  card, and my video card that is in the AGP slot.
  And
  they are being properly detected.
  
  Can this unknown card be some functionality
 built
  into the mother bord that wants to access the
 pci
  buss? Because all of my pci cards are physicaly
  plugged into the pci slots are accounted for.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Wayne

According to this:

 http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/todo.html

ACPI devices will be supported in 5.0 - I get the same 'unknown card' - it 
will be interesting to see how well it works ... maybe I'll hafta go 
-CURRENT hehe.
