I2C drivers shouldn't be enabled by default - there is usually no safe way to find out that I2C devices are present (unlike PCI and USB), so they should be enabled only where there is some way of discovering that the I2C devices exist. However, it appears that this is an exception, because we can find out about I2C HID devices through ACPI. So it should be enabled for x86. > Can I compile the module by my own or can it be > integrated into Debian? You might be able to compile the module but I can't provide simple instructions for this. I will enable this for Linux 3.12. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. - Donald Knuth
