Hello, Jean!
GR>>> never mind; no idea if G7811 ever really existed. I found version 1.3
GR>>> of the datasheet which describes both G781 and G781-1. Can you test
GR>>> the driver and sensors-detect if I send you a pointer to the code ?

Now driver checks only for 0x03 device id at address 0x4D, which is not
correct. 0x01 device id can be present at 0x4D address too. That's all I'd
like to say :)
