The motherboard has a Marvell 88E80xx (Yukon) chip which appears
to have some issues.
Search "Marvell 88E80xx linux" or "Marvell Yukon linux" (no quotes)
for more.
The Realtek ALC883 HDA sound chip also has some issues, such as
sound output being very quiet.
Search for "ALC883 alsa" or "ALC883 alsa 1.0.17" for newer info.
Still, for a free motherboard, you might as well try it and see.
I believe the HD3450 will do basic 2d with RadeonHD, and maybe even
accelerated 2d . I don't think there is any 3d yet at that level. The newest
binary ATI drivers should support the card just fine, however.

What? What does DirectX have to do with X?
