Title: i2c_i810 kernel module question
Post by: marquitico on April 02, 2010, 05:20:59 PM

This distro is bloody brilliant! But it's showing me just what a low-level end-user I am, in the number of things I don't know. Forgive a non-expert if I word this awkwardly.

I am trying Tiny Core v.2.10. I have an Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 GMCH, and other Linux flavors that are already on my machine have the i2c_i810 module active. I have noticed that the hwmon-2.6.29 package lacks the i2c_i810 module, but I see on here that hwmon-cpufreq-2.6.26 used to have it. Is this a non-essential module? If I proceed without it (e.g. adding Xorg), are there issues that will be problematic?

Thank you, everyone.

That driver was deprecated from the kernel, and removed between 2.6.26 and 2.6.29. Even back then it was only used for fb it seems.

Should have no effect not having it.
