Both names exist, depends on your system. /dev/i2c/0 is for people using devfs. It is created by devfs, no script is needed. /dev/i2c-0 is for other people (not using devfs). It needs to be created manually if your distrubution didn't do it for you. If the sensors-detect script searches for /dev/i2c/0, it means that it detected that your system uses devfs. Is it true? If it then complains that it didn't find it, it means that i2c-dev was not loaded as it should. Maybe you miss that driver in your current kernel configuration? If you are using the latest version if sensors-detect AND you use devfs AND you have i2c-dev loaded AND sensors-detect still complains, then this is likely to be a problem with your bus driver (i2c-viapro). -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/
