I've noticed that many newer Asus boards have ACPI problems with FreeBSD.
Its a shame because i have always bought asus boards since I learned of
them.

I currently have an Asus P4C800 Deluxe which is okay - until I turn off
ACPI and then I get a "Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while is

nvidia driver doesn't work with it on.
The P4S800D-E Deluxe is very similar is features to the P4C800 Deluxe
and I want to make sure that it doesn't suffer from the same problem
before I buy it.
Sorry, it does suffer the same problem. I've got an nVidia 5700
that's running the XFree86 nv driver because of this issue.
Hi,
It's a good job I checked first then. Do you know of any boards that
offer similar features, but don't have this problem?
No, I don't. Someone created a webapp that attempted to "rate" the
performance of mobos for FBSD. The URL is:
http://www.eilio.com/freebsd-motherboards/
I just checked it out and it seems to be stale now. There's a MySQL
connect error visible on the page. Also, it didn't rate ACPI
compatibility/performance which is something you really want to know.
