problem with output from nivdia card (Examined/Solved - lm_sensors 2.8.4 linux 2.6.3-gentoo-r1)

[contact]

I know, that rivatv is not your buisness, but maybe you know the solution.

I have Asus P4B533 board and GF 256DDR (hw Quadro mod). On kernel 2.4 everything

was all right. But when I installed 2.6 i get no output from GF card. Rivatv

version is 0.8.3. Here is lsmod:

bash-2.05b# lsmod

I don't know if smbus is detected correctly.

bash-2.05b# /var/tools/lm_sensors-2.8.4/prog/detect/i2cdetect

Error: No i2c-bus specified!

Syntax: i2cdetect I2CBUS

I2CBUS is an integer

i2cdetect -l lists installed busses only

Installed I2C busses:

i2c-2 unknown NVIDIA display adapter bus 0

Algorithm unavailable

i2c-1 unknown NVIDIA display adapter bus 1

Algorithm unavailable

i2c-0 unknown SMBus I801 adapter at e800

Algorithm unavailable

What does it mean that I have "No i2c-bus specified!"?? Sensor-detect works

great and it finds my GF board just like on 2.4 kernel. But the sensor output

is:

bash-2.05b# sensors

Either use the ddcmon driver instead of the eeprom driver,

or run the decode-edid.pl script.

Only mainboard sensor readings are displayed. Why there is so many buses?? When

I was using kernel 2.4 the output was:

w83781d-i2c-2-2d

Adapter: NVIDIA display adapter bus 1

Algorithm: Bit-shift algorithm

VCore 1: +2.84 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM

VCore 2: +1.40 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +0.00 V) ALARM

+3.3V: +2.97 V (min = +2.97 V, max = +3.63 V) ALARM

...etc. It was bus 1, not 0. Also I didn't have to load eeprom module to make

card visible to sensors.

I tried patching rivatv with patch called "rivatv-0.8.3-i2c-2.8.0.patch" but it

didn't help. I also couldn't find module ddcmon. Decode-edid.pl says: "EDID

EEPROM not found. Please make sure that the eeprom module is loaded.".

I'm out of ideas.

--- The new sensors output looks better to me.

Don't load the eeprom module and you won't get all the extra stuff.

What exactly is the problem? Looks good to me!

If you have further questions follow up by email, ref. your ticket #.

The rivatv i2c driver was missing the correct classes. Once added, the hardware

monitoring chip is back. Patch has been sent to the rivatv team.
