Description
-----------
WARNING: If you have an '810' or '815' motherboard, your standard I2C
temperature sensors are most likely on the 801's I2C bus. You want the
i2c-i801 driver for those, not this driver.
Now for the i2c-i810...
The GMCH chip contains two I2C interfaces.
The first interface is used for DDC (Data Display Channel) which is a
serial channel through the VGA monitor connector to a DDC-compliant
monitor. This interface is defined by the Video Electronics Standards
Association (VESA). The standards are available for purchase at
http://www.vesa.org .
The second interface is a general-purpose I2C bus. It may be connected to a
TV-out chip such as the BT869 or possibly to a digital flat-panel display.
Features
--------
Both busses use the i2c-algo-bit driver for 'bit banging'
and support for specific transactions is provided by i2c-algo-bit.
Issues
------
If you enable bus testing in i2c-algo-bit (insmod i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1),
the test may fail; if so, the i2c-i810 driver won't be inserted. However,
we think this has been fixed.

Kernel driver i2c-prosavage
Supported adapters:
S3/VIA KM266/VT8375 aka ProSavage8
S3/VIA KM133/VT8365 aka Savage4
Author: Henk Vergonet <henk@god.dyndns.org>
Description
-----------
The Savage4 chips contain two I2C interfaces (aka a I2C 'master' or
'host').
The first interface is used for DDC (Data Display Channel) which is a
serial channel through the VGA monitor connector to a DDC-compliant
monitor. This interface is defined by the Video Electronics Standards
Association (VESA). The standards are available for purchase at
http://www.vesa.org . The second interface is a general-purpose I2C bus.
Usefull for gaining access to the TV Encoder chips.

serial channel through the VGA monitor connector to a DDC-compliant
monitor. This interface is defined by the Video Electronics Standards
Association (VESA). The standards are available for purchase at
http://www.vesa.org . The DDC bus is not yet supported because its register
is not directly memory-mapped.
The second interface is a general-purpose I2C bus. This is the only
interface supported by the driver at the moment.
