Your 83697 must be on the isa bus so you don't need the CVS version of i2c-viapro to access it. To force on the isa bus use the special bus number 9191: 'modprobe w83781d force_w83697hf=9191,0xXXX' where XXX is probably 290 but check the output of sensors-detect to see where it found it. mds Bruce Miller wrote: > > Hi Sensor Guys; > > Sorry to bother you with what is probably a trivial question, but > I haven't entirely got the sensors & bus concept, yet. > > I've got an EPOX 8KHA mobo runnng VT8366 and VT8233 chipset. > I've installed the 2.4.12 kernel, as patched by > the i2c and lm_sensors 2.6.1, hopefully the appropriate modules > compiled. > > sensors-detect recognizes the Winbond W83697HF, but suggests > the driver "Unwritten", which curiously enough, I dont have :> > > The newdrivers page suggests forcing the w83781d to pretend it's > a w83627hf chip, but I need to run i2cdetect to get the parameters. > > After I explicitly modprobe i2c-isa (I think), i2cdetect > will detect that there is a bus 0, but "i2cdetect 0" > tells me: > => prog/detect/i2cdetect 0 > Error: Can't use SMBus Quick Write command on this bus (ISA bus?) > > I'm unclear if I have to explicitly specify a driver for the > i2c bus (or smb ?), as well as for the sensor.
