great. I too waited too long to begin playing with 2.6. It was a pain to get everything going but now I'm in pretty good shape. On via686a, sometimes it would register and sometimes it wouldn't. Try rmmoding and modprobing a few times. I think if I rmmodded the whole i2c stack including i2c-core and starting over it would show up. Haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet. Maybe you can. Thanks for fixing sensors segfault.
