+
+The following VIA pci chipsets are supported:
+ - MVP3, VP3, VP2/97, VPX/97
+ - others with South bridge VT82C586B
+
+Your ``lspci`` listing must show this ::

+ Bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586B ACPI (rev 10)
+
+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.
