								 Q: You have VT82C586B on the motherboard, but not in the listing. 
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								 
							 |

							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								 A: Go to your BIOS setup, section PCI devices or similar.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								    Turn USB support on, and try again.

							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								 Q: No error messages, but still i2c doesn't seem to work.

							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								 A: This can happen. This driver uses the pins VIA recommends in their
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								    datasheets, but there are several ways the motherboard manufacturer
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								    can actually wire the lines.
