I have a very alpha 3945 driver by Damien before he left the project that gets me by, and the sound just started working with the HDA stuff committed to current recently. Graphics works without AGP in the kernel, but with AGP, the 945 video driver in recent Xorg doesn't work. You also have to use 915resolution to set the video mode. Also, I didn't think the Core 2 Duo was 64-bit capable. Is it? -- DE
