Hello!

As i know the PCI-Express port on that board should work with lb but i've 
troubles on using an nvidia-grapic card with the propritary nvidia driver and 
lb. i used the revison 2994 for this test with lb-v2. Or is it nessacary to 
use a patch to get the PCI-Express working with lb?

here are some informations on my system:

dmesg shows the following output according to the nvidia module:
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  100.14.19  Wed Sep 12 14:08:38 
PDT 2007
NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x12:0x2b:1557)
NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed

the xorg logfile contains the following error:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA kernel module does not appear to be receiving
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     interrupts generated by the NVIDIA graphics device
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     PCI:7:0:0.  Please see Chapter 8: Common Problems in the
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     README for additional information.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device!
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.


where the last two lines (beginning with NVRM) in the dmesg appear when i try 
to start the xserver with the nvidia grapics driver.

attached is the superio output from lb, and from the propritary bios.
