I second that - got the same chipset.
You can try to go to http://www.winischhofer.net for better drivers for
your graphics. If you just put the x-driver in the display should be ok.
To get 3d going you need to do the whole thing incl. recompiling the
kernel. For sound use the trident driver and oss - works for me.
