Any chance that this will change? I have this MSI board with a 850
(IIRC) chipset, and nvidia gfx, and yeah I tested a xrandr command and
my monitor went black. (the old xrandr didn't work well with compiz though).
You expect that the intel drivers should work? I have another machine
that uses intel gfx, so maybe I'll try a new livecd
