Details

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.
This task depends upon

It's not a packaging issue. It's up to the user to follow the upstream instructions: https://www.ddcutil.com/kernel_module/

Not a duplicate of .
But the path I think should be /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ddcutil.conf with the line "i2c-dev".

FWIW, Fedora implement this in their "i2c-tools" pkg [1].
