Hi,Hi,
So, *please* (I'd *love* to get this working somehow):VT8235 does *NOT* have a HPET(*). Only part which has HPET is VT8237. It is device 00:17.0 too, but only 1106:3227 has HPET enable and memory base registers. VT8235 one and only feature which doesn't have driver yet seems to be hardware watchdog.
whoever has a VT8235 and is listening here,
- give a "lspci -nn" (two 'n'!), to figure out details of chipset revision etc.
- give a "lspci -d 1106:3177 -xxx", to try to figure out whether there happen
to be additional magical "enable" bits to map in those HPET I/O areas which
some BIOS versions configure and some don't (that's my fragile theory
at least)
- oh, and don't forget to tell whether HPET works or not

Thanks a lot,
