Hi all,

just a new qustion for using 2.6.0-test9:

I want to use the i2c modules.

$ lsmod | grep i2c

i2c_dev                10112  -
i2c_sensor              2688  -
i2c_viapro              6668  -
i2c_core               24516  -

$ grep -i sensor /usr/src/linux/.config

# I2C Hardware Sensors Chip support
CONFIG_I2C_SENSOR=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_ADM1021=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_EEPROM=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_IT87=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_LM75=m

Have you loaded any of the sensors modules? The modules for the sensors
are called it87, eeprom, etc. Once you load these, you should see
symlinks in /sys/bin/i2c/devices.

If you don't know which ones to load, you have a few choices:
1. Go back to 2.4, compile i2c and lm_sensors, load the i2c modules, and
run /path/to/lm_sensors/prog/detect/sensors-detect

-or-
2. Look in the motherboard list at http://mbm.livewiredev.com/ (the link
is near the top left).

-or-
3. Download and compile xmbmon from
http://www.nt.phys.kyushu-u.ac.jp/shimizu/download/download.html
Read the xmbmon readme, or try `mbmon -d -A'

-or-
4. Just try loading all the sensor modules and see what happens. I don't
know if this will work...
