You mix two different things here. The VT8231 is (or more precisely,
contains) an i2c *bus*, which is handled by the i2c-viapro driver in
both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. The VT1211 is a monitoring chipset and is
handled by the vt1211 driver in 2.4. It hasn't been ported to 2.6 yet.

You never need both drivers on a given system. Either you need
i2c-viapro + a i2c chip driver, or i2c-isa + vt1211. Use sensors-detect
to know which combination is needed on your system.
