I have an Asus motherboard with integrated graphics using the nVidia chipset and a large monitor (1680x1050) and eventually got it to work. I have a new Asus motherboard that I'm thinking about using as a replacement that uses the new AMD 690G chipset. I'm thinking of using it in the workstation and using the nVidia board on a colo machine. My question - how friendly is the video drivers in Linux with the AMD690G chipset? Is it going to work in 1680x1050 mode easily or should I stick with nVidia?
