Mini-ITX is really intriguing, but has been too expensive for what you get. Intels' introduced its first ITX offering

Isn't SIS video support a little shaky in Linux? I think this could be the basis for a fun little homebrew PC but nervous about incompatibility. Here's one of the places where it's available

It's all about Nano and Pico ITX, mi amigo.

Have to admit, the SIS support scared me too. You're right the SIS video driver isn't in great shape, but fortunately the video works just fine using the vesa driver. I'm posting this from Kubuntu 7.04 as we speak.

Hi,

I run into some trouble (kernel oops, reboot) with this board. Do you have a running box?

Regards

I'm using SiS 660, I think, on my off-brand notebook. The video works just fine in Fedora / Ubuntu, but there's no OpenGL support, so I can't play most complex games or use Compiz.

Are they not available with Intel gfx?
