Jo,
do you know what version Intel Driver you're using?  i just installed
MythBuntu 8.10 on a system using the Asus P5E-VM and i believe it's
using version 2.4.1, at least that's what Synaptic is saying :)
my HDMI output is kinda flaky, VGA seems a bit more stable.  although
i get occasional lockups (hard lock of entire system) with both.  i
haven't spent a great deal of time combing my logs.  not quite sure
what to look for or where :)
i was thinking of doing a full, clean install since i had done an
upgrade.  and was also considering compiling the Intel drivers (2.5.0)
if other were having luck with them.
