Thanks for your help.
I just ordered a 8400 GS, flashed the board with coreboot and Seabios
and it works just fine out of the box.
The external graphic works also early at bootup in Seabios.
I did a quick test with trisquel live image and video playback at 1080p
is also working without lagging.
Thanks for your reply, but as I said I want to build a
