							|  |  |  | Description | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ----------- | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | i2c-via is an i2c bus driver for motherboards with VIA chipset. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | The following VIA pci chipsets are supported: | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  - MVP3, VP3, VP2/97, VPX/97  | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  - others with South bridge VT82C586B | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Your lspci listing must show this : | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  Bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586B ACPI (rev 10) | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |     Problems? | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |   | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |  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. |
