Hi Bryan, I had vanilla sources but I'll now compile gentoo-sources. Should I compile everythingof i2c as modules? ou everything built in the kernel or just the core? If I do this, do I still need to emerge i2c?
Oh, thanks god someone has a A7V8X. Is your on board sound working? How? What do you need to compile in the kernel?
