When I try to modprobe vt1211, I get the error:

Fatal: Error inserting vt1211
(/lib/modules/2.6.20-supend2-r1/kernel/drivers/hwmon/vt1211.ko): No such device

I noticed that there was a post similar to this about the driver not checking
all the appropriate addresses, so I also edited the driver to check the location
0x4e as noted in the mailing list, but even after recompiling, I got the same
result.  Sorry for the delay and thanks again.
