I plan on running MythTV once I get it all setup. I bought the Supermicro MBD-C2SEA (), as it has AHCI support on the non-R ICH10 and two 16x PCI-E slots. This does not matter if you use the intergrated graphics, and don't have any 8x or 16x cards. Unfortunatly, the 16x PCI-E slot is only the speed of a 4x slot. I looked at the Gigabyte board, as it is the only x4500HD board that has the ICH10R chipset for Intel MatrixRAID, and AHCI support. Read the Phoronix review of the x4500HD chipset, they talk a little about getting the system working:
The two missing drivers are rather important: Video and SATA. The drivers for it are not in the 8.04 release. I am also "in your boat" with the Eaglelake chipset.

I can use a simple ATI X1300 PCI-E in the 16x video slot for the time being until I have better luck. Granted I should not expect much for being so bleeding edge, I'm hoping someone else has run across this as well.
If I use "intel" for the nf driver I get the correct resolution, however my cursor is quite garbled as is the entire screen once in a while and there is no DRM, so Compiz is a no-go. however I took a look at this page () which covers the Intel 2.4.0 driver for GMA graphics, however my results were mixed I expected since the X4500HD is so brand spanking new, that there was not going to be much for driver support. I just got and setup my new Gigabyte GA-EG45M-DS2H () mainboard and Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit and everything works quite well apart from my video troubles. If you are using multiple displays in clone or duplicate mode, you can only select a resolution supported by all displays.īased on your chipset, monitor capabilities, and manufacturer configurations, your maximum supported resolution can vary.Well I seem to have hit a brick wall trying to get the video to work properly on this board, so I'm going to throw in the towel and see if anyone is in my boat here. To find the resolutions supported by your computer and display, check with those specific manufacturers.
Most devices will support any resolution and refresh rate up to the maximum value listed.
