ATI ghraphic card

[Robert Dege]

For ATI Cards, try http://gatos.sf.net.

As far as the A7N8X, I just recently purchased that Deluxe version.  I
installed Mandrake 9.0 in it without a hitch.  Asus offers linux drivers
that are newer than nvidia's website (despite the conflicting version
numbers).

However, I've been having some RAM problems, so other than a successful
install, I can't provide any further comments.  But I have run Linux on
Asus boards in the past without any issues.
