Well I seem to have hit a brick wall trying to get the video to work properly on this board, so I'm going to throw in the towel and see if anyone is in my boat here.
I just got and setup my new Gigabyte GA-EG45M-DS2H mainboard and Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit and everything works quite well apart from my video troubles.
I expected since the X4500HD is so brand spanking new, that there was not going to be much for driver support... however I took a look at this page which covers the Intel 2.4.0 driver for GMA graphics, however my results were mixed
If I use "intel" for the xorg.conf driver I get the correct resolution, however my cursor is quite garbled as is the entire screen once in a while and there is no DRM, so Compiz is a no-go.
Granted I should not expect much for being so bleeding edge, I'm hoping someone else has run across this as well. I can use a simple ATI X1300 PCI-E in the 16x video slot for the time being until I have better luck... however kind of defeats the purpose of getting a board with integrated video.
Perhaps some marginally useful info... E8400 processor with 4GB of memory
