Right. Some board manufacturers call the 785G "RS785", and AMD's own website doesn't have a clear list of which codename corresponds to which product name. Running a search on AMD's website comes up pretty empty. OTOH, RS880 is mentioned in the RS780 RPR, so we can assume it works with the existing code (and IIRC one board in the tree uses 785G, so that assumption is safe).
Sorted by codename, the chipsets I can find are* Codename Product Name Documentation?

Some stuff about AMD 740 family in wikipedia is simply crap/rumor. Basically, AMD 740 is AMD 690 with a smaller process size and slightly updated graphics core. AFAIK you can use the AMD 690 code without problems after adding one PCI ID.

So realistically how soon can I expect practical RS880/785G support, if not already? My dev machine/home server/HTPC rocks a Asus M4A785TD-M EVO with this chipset. I'll assemble a dump later but it sports, off my head: Phenom II X4 965 AMD 785G IT8705 superio and some ACPI interface to it for hardware monitoring - I wonder if I can work that interface into my P2B-LS :P 8Mbit SPI flash, socketed
