Mike - I think the prevailing wisdom when I enquired about this chip was "get another card"! It's a joke of a chip, with the only advantages being hardware functions that aren't (yet) available in linux. Something like video units or 3d something-or-others that are just dead silicon under linux. Yes, it works. Just not very well. If it wasn't soldered onto the d*mn motherboard, I'd have it straight out of there. If you have the option, because it's on a card, just dump it and get something decent. As far as I recall, it was being touted for mobile use because of integrated video stuff and low power - not differentiators that you're /really/ looking for in a desktop system, so $DEITY only knows why it's on my mobo!
