I have one, all integrated components (except NIC) are working very well, but XFree86 freezes my system and don't generate a log file. I tested with AGP kernel module loaded, resulting the same. I can run X on NetBSD 1.6BETA4 using nv driver with 1024x768x24bpp (yeah, I have a small 15" monitor...), in FreeBSD I created XF86Config file using xf86cfg -textmode, graphic mode don't work, locks up my machine. I tested with FBSD 4.6-RELEASE running GENERIC and custom kernel, XFree86 4.2, the integrated GPU is a GeForce2 using 32MB of memory. The motherboard has APIC set, but with PIC I can't run X too.
