We knew of a similar problem between i2c-viapro and via686a. I didn't know that i2c-viapro and via-ircc had the same problem. And I guess that i2c-viapro and vt1211 would conflict too? Mark D. Studebaker is working on a solution for i2c-viapro and via686a. I don't know if the same solution will apply in the other cases. Since i2c-viapro is involved in all three conflicts, it promises to be damn complex... -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
