Wow! So then I just cannot use this motherboard at all!
xfree 3.3.6 , also with the driver that can be downloaded from intel - I
could run it only at 320x200x4.
xfree 4.0.1d supports it, but the screen flicker so hard, that is is
unusable. 
Now there is no fb support for it. If they sell a vga card that is not
vesa compliant, they are crazy.

I am angry with intel!
And my bosses, who decided to buy 1500 pcs of this IBM Netvista :-(((

Anyway, I'll have to buy a vga card on my own, if I want to use linux.

2.4.0-test10 seems to be really fine and stable to me!
Thx for your great work guys!
