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.
