I have this motherboard. The Unichrome chip was a problem wrt DRI. That was 
back in the days of Xorg 6.8 though. Xorg 7 came with the promise of new 
Unichrome drivers, but I had already put in an NVIDIA card, so I don't know 
how well the Xorg drivers work. If you're not interested in DRI, X works fine 
with the vesa drivers.

Everything else has been working perfectly.
