        I've got it conected to the RGB->SVIDEO cable that was included with

the Matrox G400 MAX, and the SVIDEO is connected to a VIDEO->RF conversor in order to distribute to other rooms. And what is the caller when modprobing? modprobe? the driver for the g400 i2c?

Yeah. RGB->SVIDEO cabel has connected SDA-SCL together, so when it transmits zero data bit, it will find clocks held in zero... Caller is i2c-matroxfb procedure which calls i2c_add_bit_bus() ... It calls it with 1s timeout too, but it is another story... I believed that it is 100ms timeout...

You should compile i2c-algo-bit as module and use insmod it
with 'bit_test=1' parameter. It should do some tests on these pins to find whether they are stuck in 0 or in 1. You can also try 'i2c_debug=3' ...

I'll check it and mail you with results.

bit_test=1 should say 'DDC#2: SCL unexpected low while pulling SDA low!'...
