Thanks for sharing, dar.

Right now, I'm pissed that the ULI Raid controller chipset on my ASUS A8R-MVP mobo won't have drivers under 7. Apparently Nvidia bought ULI out, and deep-sixed that controller line. (For once, it's not Microsquash's fault!)

AND, my ATi Radeon graphics card doesn't have 3D support under Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)... The closed-source fglrx just doesn't work with xserver 1.6 (thanks, AMD!) So I'm stuck with Intrepid unless I change cards.

So now I need two more cards for a four year old machine.
