viapm -- VIA chipsets Power Management controller driver SYNOPSIS
device iicbb device iicbus device iicsmb device smbus device smb device viapm DESCRIPTION
This driver provides access to the VIA chipset Power Management Unit family. They are VT82C586B, VT82C596A, VT82C596B, VT82C686A and VT8233. The embedded controller of the VIA chipset may give you access to the monitoring facilities of your mainboard. The 586B support is made by software whereas other controllers support the SMBus protocol by hardware. See smb(4) for writing user code to fetch voltages, temperature and so on from the monitoring chip of your mainboard. SEE ALSO

amdpm -- AMD 756/766/768/8111 Power Management controller driver SYNOPSIS
device smbus device smb device amdpm DESCRIPTION
This driver provides access to AMD 756/766/768/8111 Power management controllers. Currently, only the SMBus 1.0 controller function is implemented. The SMBus 2.0 functionality of the AMD 8111 controller is supported via the amdsmb(4) driver. The embedded SMBus controller of the AMD 756 chipset may give you access to the monitoring facilities of your mainboard. See smb(4) for writing user code to fetch voltages, temperature and so on from the monitoring chip of your mainboard. SEE ALSO
