ATI is not perceived as a viable Linux platform, so it is no surprise that
this chipset is rarely used. I recommend a similar NVidia-based board
from MSI (K8NGM2-FID, GeForce 6150 chipset) which is guaranteed to work
with any modern distribution.
You are not the only one recomending nVidia motherboard chipset instead of
ATI. However, if I choose nVidia built in graphics I know for sure that
DRI is not going to work with the opensource nv driver. Instead of
replacing ATI with nVidia I would rather choose a motherboard with a
via unichrome or intel built in graphics. Maybe I should do a safe choice
and go for an intel chipset, but that also means that I will have to go
for an intel CPU. There are many mini-ITX boards with VIA unichrome
chipset, but I haven't found any mini-ITX board or micro-ATX with
unichrome chipset and a DVI port.
