Thanks for your comments Leonard! I only wish my computer would work
as well as yours with the "nv" driver. It is pretty good but not good
enough for me.

I just from Newegg bought a new motherboard which is a Gigibyte
GA-MA78GM-S2H AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard. It has a 30
day return for refund.

It will fit in my small enclosure and my older DVD and HD's should
all work. My RAM and AMD CPU should fit. It has ZERO nVidia hardware :-)

Hey,
I have always had a good run with nvidia hardware and had never owned
anything ati until last weekend when I bought the same motherboard as you..
The Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H is a great board so far, but definately
has had its quirks for me. To install Gutsy you need the alternate disk,
but
none of the supplied kernels were apparently installable.
This meant I had to use a livecd (I used a hardy desktop beta) to chroot

into a kernel-less system, install a newer kernel and then update
initramfs
and grub.
The alternative was to install Hardy but as this is to be a mythtv
box and the Mythbuntu 8.04 beta did not prove to be stable enough I
eventually went for the former. I haven't yet been able to get radeon,
radeonhd or gfglx running under 2.6.22-14 but I am still hopeful[1].
BTW gfglx worked perfectly under Hardy[2]. The onboard video is an HD3200

Good luck,
cheers,
Owen

[1] My RocketRaid rr1740 drivers won't compile past 2.6.22 as some
functions
have been deprecated, they haven't updated the driver and I haven't yet
looked to see if I can patch it myself.

[2] add Option "TexturedVideo" "on" to the Device section in xorg.conf
Without it xvinfo shows no devices.

I have an Asus M2N32 *WS* Professional that I have run Ubuntu Feisty,
Sabayon, Gentoo and currently Ubuntu Studio 7.10. I pretty much have had
only the Firefox problems that
Leonard has had. I had a real good experience with Sabayon which is Gentoo
portage based and is fast. I didn´t care for the Gnome layout though. It
felt to much like KDE. However everything worked including Compiz-Fusion.
Before you dump this motherboard give it a try. I am using Ubuntu Studio
without Compiz-Fusion working right now. Here is the output of my lspci:
