Hello. I would like to subscribe to lm_sensors mailing list.
Could it be possible?

Also i include my first question. If someone could help -- it will be great.

Hi Folks.

Recently we tried to get lm_sensors 2.6.2 working on our i810e motherboard but
unfortunately a problem occured.

------------------------------------
Here follows the problem description:

We want to get an I2C driver for graphics related stuff found in intel boards
such as DDC bus & I2C bus which is usually
connected to tv encoders.

the kernel driver related to this stuff (as i suppose) is named i2c-i810.c and
supports only next pci sub id's:
0x7121
0x7123
0x1132

As i think we have the next version of 0x7123 chip (CGC rev 03). Here is a part
of lspci & lspci -n output

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82810E GMCH [Graphics Memory Controller
Hub] (rev 03)
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82810E CGC [Chipset
Graphics Controller] (rev 03)

00:00.0 Class 0600: 8086:7124 (rev 03)
00:01.0 Class 0300: 8086:7125 (rev 03)

the problem is that this hardware is not supported by driver.

I've tried to add 7125 support to the driver -- it loads, operates, but no
devices are found on any bus
(though monitor & tv encoder should respond) by the program "i2cdetect":

and the same for i2c-2 bus

Note that an i2cdetect scan takes about 5 minutes with 100% cpu load.

Accoring to intel documentation the driver preforms (to my unexpirienced view)
right operations
(i mean GPIOA & GPIOB are correct & other constants are ok)

PLEASE CONSIDER HELP WITH OUR PROBLEM
