Asus Cusi-FX

[Christian Gmeiner]

Hi Mailinglist.

I find the project very good and it could speed up the starting of my Video Disc Recorder - VDR - dramaticly.
But before i spend money i want to know, if the ASUS Cusi-Fx Mainboard is supported.

Thanks, Christian Gmeiner

Asus stuff typically is not supported because they do weird things with 
their SMBus. It uses a SiS630, however, so maybe it's not a totally lost 
cause. Perhaps Ollie Lho can give us his opinion on this.

Is it possible to use another mainboard with the SiS630? I'm really 
skeptical about support on Asus mainboards.

Lots of motherboards get it wrong with how they mux the SMBus with the 
DDC on the VGA connector.

Does this mean, linuxbios supports my mainboard?

Asus usually use their own undocumented ASIC for SMBus and other stuff.
We have no way to get SPD.
