^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 27) Q:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 28) You have VT82C586B on the motherboard, but not in the listing.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 29)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) A:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 31) Go to your BIOS setup, section PCI devices or similar.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 32) Turn USB support on, and try again.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34) Q:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35) No error messages, but still i2c doesn't seem to work.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37) A:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 38) This can happen. This driver uses the pins VIA recommends in their
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 39) datasheets, but there are several ways the motherboard manufacturer
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 40) can actually wire the lines.
