I stumbled upon this article:
and find it curious, as now, 8 months later, over all support of the chipset seems lacking. I haven't tried Fedora, which was used on the test system. I have tried the following with poor results: SUSE 10.3, PCLINUXOS Gnome edition, Mepis 7.02 rc2,ans Ubuntu 7. The only successful install has been Sabayon Linux 3.5 Loop 2. My system uses a Biostar TForce 7050 MB, Athlon X2 64 3800, 2gb PC800 RAM, Segate 80gb IDE boot drive. I use the onboard gpu. Problems are mainly with the gpu, but also boot errors, and failure to boot. I'm just begining to test Sabayon, but so afr it's very nice.
My question is to Phoronix. Shouldn't you test with more than one ditrobution? Your article would lead one to believe that it should work fine for anyone, when my testing, at this late date, show that not to be the case.
