i've been working on i8k utils off and on for several months.

(lately it's been what i've been doing whilst i sit at my daughter's  
gymnastics class)

so several of the api's work, ie turning the fans on and off, etc.

buttons *still* dont work. :-(

at this point, i want to start working on hXRing the kernel module.

as currently coded, it writes to /proc.

i would prefer to not have to require the proc lkm for this to work,  
i'd rather do it the bsd way.

so, umm, what *is* the bsd way ? :-)

tnx!
