Default NVidia MCP68 (aka GeForce 7025/7050)

Does this new NVidia-based IGP chipset work well in Linux? It looks like a fine solution, very comparable to AMD690G. I don't need (much) OpenGL power, but I want DVI and dual-head. And I'm a little bit sick of messing with ATI's drivers all the time.

I finally got my new system, based upon the ASRock board also tested on Phoronix. Everything works great. Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64 installed quickly and after installing the NVidia driver, simply by using the restricted drivers manager, OpenGL worked fine. Everything is just so much better than with ATI, it's hard to believe!

2D performance is a lot better than with ATI and Compiz works as expected, too.

Maybe I'll try the new beta driver for even more improved 2D performance.
