Mine still shows nothing, but I haven't done a cvsup in about a week
(automatic on Saturday mornings with /etc/weekly.local)

- grep output -
bofh.zaphod [8:46am] [/usr/src/sys/i386/conf] >grep "apm" LINT 
# apm: Laptop Advanced Power Management (experimental)
#  The flags takes the following meaning for apm0:
#  If apm is omitted, some systems require sysctl -w
kern.timecounter.method=1
device  apm0
#  apm under `Miscellaneous hardware'
# viapm VIA VT82C586B,596,686A and VT8233 SMBus controllers
device  viapm
bofh.zaphod [8:46am] [/usr/src/sys/i386/conf] >
- end grep output -

either that or my LINT file isn't being updated by cvsup?

Anyhow, thanks again for your help, it's saved the last of my hair
follicles from being forcibly removed.

Cheers

Tim

Errr...

happy-idiot-talk:...sys/i386/conf:% grep amdpm LINT 
# amdpm AMD 756 Power Management Unit
device  amdpm

Looks like it is in LINT to me.  Hmm...

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/i386/conf/Attic/LINT?only_with_tag=RELENG_4

Seems like it was an oversight that has been corrected only in the
last two or so weeks.

Cheers,

Matthew

Thank you.  It worked like a charm, and now that I know what I was
lacking, I discovered that it isn't actually listed in LINT hence the
reason I couldn't find it without help.

Of course, now that I know what it is, I'm finding all kinds of
information about it.  

I assume that it was a minor oversight not having this entry in LINT, or
are there a lot of things not there deliberately?

Cheers & thanks again

Tim

Of course, immediately I sent the above, I noticed what was wrong with
that picture.

Try adding

device  amdpm

to you kernel config...

Cheers,

Matthew

Well, you've done everything pretty much right so far --- however,
although you seem to have added all of the possible variants of SMBus
controller chips, your kernel isn't picking up the hardware on your
motherboard.  That might simply be because the exact chipset you have
isn't recognised, although from what you've said above, I'd expect the
amdpm driver to probe successfully.

What is the output of:

pciconf -lv

please?

Cheers,

Matthew

PS. The 'device pcf0' entry in your kernel config is incorrect. It
should be:

device pcf0 at isa? port? irq 5

however, that won't make a difference unless you actually have a
Philips PCF8584 I2C controller on your system.
