Maybe nvidia will prove me wrong but I suspect Linux on such a device won't support the audio, won't support the graphics in full and might only get you basic PIO IDE and no AGP It does look an interesting chipset. It would be very nice to get it supported as well as they other embedded chipsets like the i815. Alan
