It would really be great to not depend on proprietary drivers. The VIA chipset VX855 was supposed to have support 1080p support build in. But those devices do not seem to be available in non Asian regions. AMD/ATI or Intel should also over some products fitting your need. And I heard the drivers matured quite a bit (besides Intel Poulsbo). Unfortunately I do not own such systems. Thanks, Paul
