Hi all, Is there any objection to me dropping rivatv detection from sensors-detect? My reasons are: * rivatv is still not in mainline after 3 years. I wonder if it will ever be. * rivatv is only one of the several drivers which can provide I2C/SMBus access to nVidia adapters. nvidiafb and rivafb do it as well (although I did not check if access to the same busses was provided) and they are in mainline. And nVidia's proprietary X driver does also in recent versions, even though it won't work at the moment due to improperly set i2c functionality flags (and we won't provide support for it, but that's a different point.) * Most PCI drivers will autoload in recent Linux 2.6 kernels (in particular nvidiafb and rivafb do). So I'd rather let the user pick the driver he/she wants. sensors-detect will scan all available busses anyway, whether they were detected or not. * There are many many different nVidia graphics adapters. We already have 22 entries, representing 20% of the total list of known PCI adapters. Given that the last ones were added over 2 years ago, the list is certainly incomplete. I don't even know which devices are supported by rivatv (or the other drivers mentioned above), and I don't want to spend time tracking this. So unless someone finds a good reason I missed, I plan to remove all references to rivatv from sensors-detect soon. Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
