Would you recommend the product? no | Price you paid? (in USD): None indicated | Rating: 7

Kernel (uname -r):	2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686
Distribution:	Fedora 10

I do not recommend this MB with Fedora distribution for the time being because the "ati" Xorg driver does not work and freezes the computer during installation. One has to run a text install and later use the "vesa" driver. The ATI proprietary driver has not been tested yet on F10.

F9 was at least installing, despite "ati" driver was not working, the computer was at least not freezing. The ATI proprietary driver supplied by rpmfusion.org was installing OK but not working very well (screen flickering while watching video, computer freezing for a few seconds periodically with 100% CPU used by X...). Video output was done on a Full HD flat panel (1920 x 1080) through HDMI port, although sound was not transmitted over the HDMI, nor through the SPDIF optical output.

ATI drivers, proprietary or not, are badly working if not at all. A shame. Hope this will change very soon.
