Indeed you are, more or less. Alexander (CC'd) once was doing the same. No news since mid-December though, so I don't know if he finished the port or not. > Then, it would be kind from you to provide me a kind of API for > the '/sys' interface used by the 'sensors' program. Everything is detailed in Documentation/i2c/sysfs-interface of Linux 2.6.1-rc1 and later. If something's missing, let us know. > PS : don't be afraid of my @siemens.com email address, I am just a > one-year trainee here, and I'm not working on some linux-related > siemens project (are there any ?). Oh my god, he is working at Siemens. Let's be afraid! ;) We have had good relationships with FSC in the past, and are supporting three of their chips (Scylla, Hermes and Poseidon). > PSx2 : where could I find a hacker involved (currently or in the past) > of the vt1211 devel, I could have questions for him(/her) about the > necessity of mutexes in this driver... I hope that Mark D. Studebaker, who is present on this list and wrote the driver, will be able to help. Alexander & Francois, please get in touch with each other, share your works and provide a working driver for 2.6, so that we can have it included in Linux 2.6.2.
