I'm looking to dip my toes into the MythTV world, and would like some
feedback from the veterans.
Looking at Motherboard / video card choices - My current TV requires a
DVI connection for high-quality output. I'm sure my next TV will do
HDMI. So I want both of those. I want to do audio to my surround
sound system with an optical toslink connection, thought I could do a
analog cable there.
Is an board with integrated video a good choice for Myth?
This board seems to have everything I would need:

But, how are the drivers on Linux for the Intel GMA X4500HD video?
My only recent experience with video on linux is with NVidia - which
has been a good experience.
I haven't been able to find a motherboard with a modern NVidia
chipset, however, that has all of my other required connectors.
I won't touch ATI after my last round with them.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Dan
