i2c questions in kernel 2.5.67

[Stian Jordet]

Hi,

I have a Asus CUV266-DLS motherboard, with a as99127f hardware monitor
chip. This is supposed to be supported by the W83781D sensor driver.

But, I'm I not supposed to get something under /sys/bus/i2c? Now it's
only my tv-card that is listed as a device.

chevrolet:~# find /sys/bus/i2c/
/sys/bus/i2c/
/sys/bus/i2c/drivers
/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/i2c TV tuner dri
/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/i2c TV tuner dri/1-0060
/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/w83781d
/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/i2c-dev dummy dr
/sys/bus/i2c/devices
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0060
chevrolet:~# 

Have I a somewhat incompatible motherboard? The chip on the board _is_ a
as99127f, seen with my own eyes :) Or is there some other option I need?

Thanks,

Best regards,
Stian

Does this motherboard work with this driver on 2.4?  (I'd recommend
getting the lm_sensors package from their web site to check this out.)

I haven't bothered to try. Haven't used 2.4 for ages. I'll try to test
it tonight, else it have to wait untill after Easter.

But I guess this answered my question, whether something else is needed
as well. Which I understand it is not. Damn.

Thanks :)

I cannot remember what exactly, but there is some weirdness with sysfs
and using find.  And unfortunately I could only test the driver with one
of the many chips it support (which on the newer Asus boards is not the
as99127f).  Can you attach a dmesg though ?

I will be back home in about 12-14 hours, then I can have a look ... is
this before or ater the easter deadline ? =)

Of course I should have checked this better before I sent the first
mail. I need the i2c-viapro module (in 2.4), which hasn't been ported
yet.

Really sorry about the noise.

No problem, want to port that driver and send me a patch?  :)

I sent out a document to the list a week or so ago on the changes
necessary to do this if you're interested.

Hmm. I might try, I'll have to see how much spare time I get.

Thanks :)
