Its nice that we have all these beta/alpha testers out their, exactly
what ATI express 200 model is involved. Knowing ATI it will be some
time before they have working Linux drivers. I wonder when they will
be able to get multi monitor support out of the IGP version of this
chipset. Also which ATI chipset uses the ALI south bridge, I thought
it was this one, but it does not mention it on the website, or in the
reviews.
I salute your bravery, running something on the cutting edge.
