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.
