Here's my hardware list:

   1. Motherboard: ***INT D946GZISSL 775 SATA DDR2
      *
   2. Flatron L1720P LCD
   3. KVM switch

I have another system with an Nvidia 7600. Works great.

QUESTIONS

    * When will the new driver be ready?
    * Should I get a different motherboard with better driver support?
    * Which Intel chips are supported?

Thanks.
