Hello, this I2c / Lm_sensors stuff is pretty interesting so far... I've been trying to get access to my voodoo3 cards bt869 tv-out functions and registers. I'm a little confused to say the least. I am writing after several attempts (using many different kernel-sources - both kernel.org sources and debianized sources - 2.4.27 and 2.6.8 aswell) to get a version of i2c and lm_sensors up so that I can do the stuff with the voodoo3 cards bt869 chip that needs to be done to get my desktop at the correct resolution and such when x starts up. :-) . I've read the couple of pages that are around on this stuff, but I need help, I can even get my box up and running with a good kernel / i2c / lm_sensors mix. I appreciate that this project is an ongoing effort, thanks a lot for your hard work. This stuff is so complicated I don't know how you guys do it. Good Job to say the least. I am wondering could you tell me exactly which kernel I should use for the greatest chance of compatibility with whatever version of LM_sensors and i2c I should be using to access the voodoo3 and the bt869? I've tried doing some research on various sites, your pages are informative but haven't led me to the point where I can use my voodoo3 on the tv. This is very likely my fault, being the super noob that I am. However I have a couple questions that you might be able to answer, 1) patches are offered (http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/i2c/) for i2c-2.9.0 but the download page (http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/download.html) does not have lm_sensors-2.9.0. Where can I download lm_sensors-2.9.0 ? :-) 2) should the kernel sources be from kernel.org or can I use the apt-get method to grab debianized kernel sources from my apt source? 3) which kernel version, when used with a given lm_sensors and i2c version is best to use for accessing the "registers" on a voodoo3's bt869 ? 4) is there a super noob command by command FAQ that I can follow (I am interested in learning about this stuff but Id really like it to work! - chances are I'll do the faq so many times over that it will be engrained in my brain and I'll be a better user for it!) 5) can I donate (money or time or access to my box that has this hardware) to the i2c / lm_sensors project Anyways, I look forward to your response, happy holidays ! :-) Ryan Barrett ryan at rytechcomputing.ca -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
