Is it just Thinkpads? I'm considering removing Windows from my Compaq
laptop & installing Linux on it.

Also, how does one determine if i2c is compiled into the kernel? On the
desktop PC, I already have a bunch of i2c drivers (modules) in a directory.
But, lm_sensor won't do a make install. lsmod doesn't show any i2c drivers
installed.
