Hi James,

There is some graphics driver support for this board. Meego 1.2 has the full 
proprietary driver and there is some support for Ubuntu:

I don't think that the Ubuntu driver does much acceleration, but it at least 
allows detection of the monitor resolution. I have one in the family PC that I 
originally bought for MythTV but it doesn't have a PCI express slot so I 
couldn't use it. Meego runs well on it, but the repos don't have a lot of stuff. 
I swapped it to Ubuntu yesterday with the above driver and it appears to be OK 
so far, but we only use it for web browsing and flash games.
