Hi,
I would like a mainboard from a vendor that supports coreboot, but also has an Intel GMA(3D acceleration) on the same mainboard.(Intel GMA because of my percieved 'good 3D FLOSS drivers'...though irrelevant to coreboot) I've read that AMD is very supportive of coreboot. Do you think it's possible that there is an AMD mainboard with an Intel GMA(3D acceleration) on it?

I don't think so. I think the bus between the CPU and northbridge is different, and it can't be easily done. And if it could be done I don't see Intel willing. It's the same reason there aren't intel addon graphic cards.
But if you find one please tell me. I ended up with and AMD cpu + nvidia vga in order to at least have nouveau, but I hate buying from nvidia.

No, you won't find Intel graphics with a AMD processor.
What makes you think the open source ATI drivers aren't any good? AFAICT they're doing pretty well these days.

Do you know any? Experiences are helpful for me.
