If this was for my own personal desktop then I could live with it, but
unfortunately it is intended for use in a control system "appliance" so
it needs to work reliably.  This is also why I'm not keen on
recompiling/packaging the whole X11 setup to get it working, or move to
another platform.  I was planning on testing out Fedora 8, but it sounds
like that is unlikely to solve the intel issues completely.

I was hoping to get away with using the SDVO PCIe card rather than a
full blown graphics card, but it looks like that might be the most cost
efficient way forward for me right now.

I will continue to look into the intel issues on a test system, and will
post a follow up if I should get anywhere with it.

Thanks to everyone who replied to this thread for their help/advice.

Kind regards,
