Description:
When installing the ddcutil package, the user needs additional steps to load the i2c-dev kernel module. It would be nice if the ddcutil package could configure the system to auto-load the i2c-dev module. For comparison, the ddccontrol package does it (because upstream installs it): * https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ddccontrol * https://github.com/ddccontrol/ddccontrol/blob/master/src/lib/ddccontrol-i2c-dev.conf Steps to reproduce: 1. Install ddcutil. 2. Add yourself to i2c group. 3. Reboot, just to be sure. 4. Try using ddcutil. PROBLEM: ddcutil requires module i2c-dev. EXPECTATION: That module should have been loaded automatically. Proposed solution: The package should include a /etc/modules-load.d/ddcutil.conf file containing one single line: "i2c-dev". That would be enough to make the module auto-load. |

FS#70503.But the path I think should be /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ddcutil.conf with the line "i2c-dev".
