Thank you!
Yes this is the expected behaviour. In the two cases mentioned by you, (almost) everything is as if KSM is not installed at all. You have to start fmon in some other way. Look how PBChess is doing it with /etc/init.d/on-animator.sh. By the way, if KSM is active, it circumvents /etc/init.d/on-animator.sh in order to prevent running multiple instances of fmon. Be aware that the PBChess way of starting fmon does not check whether it is safe doing so, while KSM (if active) does at least some minimal checking, and allows you to interact with the device if something goes wrong.
