To Pasi: I'm using the xorg stuff - nothing special from Intel. Sorry for the ambiguity. To Stan: I didn't ask for, nor had I received any recommendation - you must be thinking of someone else. You had responded to a query I raised earlier when I had problems with the RealTek n

To Pasi: Sound has worked without any particular intervention - straight ALSA. I don't do anything complex with the sound system, though. As far as the video - while I'm presently using a custom-compiled kernel, I'm fairly sure I was getting the same rates with the stock 2.6.32 kernel

Hi Pasi: I have the same MB and processor. I have had a few issues, particularly with the RealTek chip, but as of now it's running fine - running the Debian/testing (squeeze) with the 2.26.32 kernel, and the RealTek driver out of nonfree. It's so annoying to have gotten a board thinki
