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.
