I don't see the logic behind ATI not documenting this stuff where other 
companies have. Ok, I can live with a binary driver for graphics 
acceleration.... but something like the PCI bridge and IDE?
Mind I did notice some work on ATI chipsets in the 2.6.5 kernel, so I live 
in hope that someone reverse engineers the thing, but I won't hold my 
breath.

As for the Motherboard specs, it's really a cheap gaming PC at heart..... 
and gaming PCs are not really suited to linux at all. I still think that 
sucks though.

Anyway, I built this machine from a bunch of used parts with this new 
motherboard and I was going to sell it anyway.
