Yes that's really good news .-)

That would be really great if you could ask ATI to add /dev/i2c-*
support (maybe they have other kind of interface, I don't know either,
but I'm sure they do not support standard /dev/i2c-* devices). If ATI
does so, I could imagine disabling ddcpci by default, which would
probably speed up ddccontrol load time.

Best regards,
