    Not exactly.  There is a difference between the CRT controller
and the connector on the card.  The I2C function is tied to a connector,
not a CRTC.  So it depends on the board layout.  On NV11 CRTC 0 & 1
correspond to outputs 0 & 1, but on everything newer it could be
either way.  It may be the case that straight-across 0->0, 1->1
may work better overall, but it's not guaranteed.   I will 
examine the success rate with my cards over the US holiday later
this week.
