In fact I don't see any ticket from you in our base, so it must have failed for some reason (thus the lack of acknowledgement). Not a big problem though; this list is a correct place to ask for support too. > Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 0540 (Non-I2C SMBus adapter) > Do you want to scan it?

I guess that you have i2c-0 and i2c-1, and your distribution assumes it should be enough for most people, but it isn't for you. There is a script coming with lm_sensors that will create these device files: prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh. Or you can just create the missing device file: mknod -m 600 /dev/i2c-2 c 89 2 > PS Why does it say "confidence 1, driver `eeprom'" and then not > include "modprobe eeprom" in the script?

Because the ddcmon is prefered (confidence 8) over the eeprom driver for this kind of eeproms (EDID eeproms present in your monitor, providing timing information to the video adapter). It is correct that the eeprom driver can be used too, with the prog/eeprom/decode-edid.pl script. But using the ddcmon driver together with the sensors program is usually easier and provides information you are more likely to be interested in (the eeprom+script combo is meant to add extra video modes to your XFree86 configuration file, not to provide user-friendly information). Hope that helps. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
