That's nice, but if hardware is not autodetected at boot or at very least during Debian installation, I still don't see the point of modules. This incident make me feel like apologizing for Debian and illustrates one reason why I don't recommend Debian for newbies.
Okay, I did that and: lsmod | grep i2c i2c_sensor 2944 2 w83627hf,eeprom i2c_isa 2304 0 i2c_viapro 6924 0 i2c_core 22416 6 nvidia,w83627hf,eeprom,i2c_sensor,i2c_isa,i2c_viapro So i2c is loaded but i still have the problem.
The graphics card obvious has to participate, but I don't see the driver for the graphics card i2c. It may be there but I don't know what it's called. I think in my case it's called fb_radeon_i2c, so I would expect to see something like fb_nv_i2c.
I was also wondering is
my graphics card capable of displaying 1680x1050? I mean i'm using 64mb geforce3 ti200 card(visiontek's xtasy 6564). Has anyone have this type of card at this resolution without any problem?
Again, although you may have other problems, I think the first problem is indicated by the lack of the DDC output.
