I have an ASUS A7N266-VM working now with Myth. As long as you are aware
of a couple key tricks with this board, you should be fine...
-use LILO rather than GRUB (won't boot with GRUB)
-use nVidia-provided video drivers
-use nVidia-provided network/misc drivers
Unfortunately, I found these each out very slowly/painfully. Video is
just fine for me using the AiTech NTSC converter. Audio sounds good
using ALSA.
I'm still having some problems with USB. I think it may be working now
with usb-ohci. Not 100% convinced though...
