ASUS P4R800-VM incompatibility

I recently got an ASUS P4R800-VM board to play with, but it seems that it's 
not linux compatible for now. Sound, VGA chipset, and even ethernet 
controller went undetected by test2.
On the driver disk, there were some Linux drivers for ALSA (which you can 
get off the net anyway) and one for the ethernet controller (e2000) but it 
looks proprietary (oh dear), and according to reports the driver is a bit 
kludgy.

So far, no distribution has incorporated this board's features.

Chipset: ATI RADEON 9100
            ATI IXP200
VGA: ATI RADEON 9200 integrated graphics
Audio: ADI AD1888 6-channel audio CODEC (Sound max)
LAN: IXP200 built in 3Com MAC with Realtek 8201BL/CL LAN PHY

Seems like the ATI chipset is unsupported in Linux at the moment.
Here's a site on the net which explains the hassles in more detail:-

I made a lspci dump for those interested:
