I use xmbmon -- it seems to work on the VIA chipset on my Gigabyte mother=
board=20
without needing special devices in my kernel config. It has no problems=20
getting the temperature information -- it shows the approxmently same val=
ues=20
that the BIOS and Windows utilites shows.

Xmbmon is aviliable in the ports (/usr/ports/sysutils/xmbmon/).
