This brings up something I was trying to find a solution for over the
weekend.  I just purchased the latest Tyan dual Athlon motherboard
(S2466N-4M)[0] and got FreeBSD 4.6 up and running on it.  It's working
flawlessly so far, which I'm quite pleased with.  It's always a roll of
the dice buying new hardware without verified compatibility reports.  I
would like to monitor the CPU temperature to keep an eye on how
efficient my cooling setup is (these dual Athlons get hot).  The
motherboard uses a Winbond W83782D hardware monitoring chip and comes
with Windows software which supports it.  Does anyone know of an open
source app which will read the temperature off of this thing, or have
pointers to documentation so I can write my own?  I have had no luck
getting [x]mbmon to use it.  mbmon seems to only support the Winbond
83627HF chip.  Gkrellm only appears to support LM7[89] chips via
lm_sensors.  Something which provided an SNMP interface would be ideal,
even if I have to write that wrapper myself, since I'd like to be able
to graph it via mrtg or similiar.  I've been googling around without
much success.  Any thoughts or suggestions on where to turn?
