0024 Problems?
0025 ---------
0026 
0027  Q:
0028     You have VT82C586B on the motherboard, but not in the listing.
0029 
0030  A:
0031     Go to your BIOS setup, section PCI devices or similar.
0032     Turn USB support on, and try again.
0033 
0034  Q:
0035     No error messages, but still i2c doesn't seem to work.
0036 
0037  A:
0038     This can happen. This driver uses the pins VIA recommends in their
0039     datasheets, but there are several ways the motherboard manufacturer
0040     can actually wire the lines.
