It might, but it's not working in test2. I'd probably have to recompile ALSA 
again, but I have no time for that.

I'm just getting no sound though... mind you I noticed that the sound 
control in the test2 taskbar don't work. You can try scrolling the volume 
up, but it just switches itself off again.

I noticed this in the 2.6.5 kernel log.

The IDE and USB ports DO work under test2 with this motherboard. That's not 
the problem.
Alsa doesn't work (I'm not even asked to play a test sound on first boot).
The video driver gets the VESA treatment on install though.... install can't 
tell that it's dealing with an ATI RADEON 9200 for some reason.
That and the ethernet port doesn't work without some extra driver, which is 
buggy in itself.
