Hello,

My latest computer is also a 780G machine (running Stable, instead of 
current).

I initially had issues with the embedded graphics board, when the text 
consoles were black as soon as Xorg was started. This issue is corrected by 
the latest drm import (this import also gave a fully working Xvideo output : 
thanks)

I also lost access to the DVD as long as AHCI mode was disabled ; enabling 
AHCI corrects this issue (and I do keep access to the three SATA disks in the 
machine)

As with you, I am loading snd_hda via /etc/rc.local, instead of by the loader, 
if I want some sound output (but then, the "hda" part of the name of the 
driver is fully justified)

there is still one last issue : I cannot use the integrated PCI slots : I have 
added an external board and I can't seem to see it via pciconf -lv (I did not 
check recently, but neither could Ubuntu see the board)

After a bad start (and a certain disappointment) I'm quite happy with this 
little board (as I said, running -Stable)

	Cheers

	TfH

PS : I still see something strange : "sometimes" (TM)(R), I must re-plug the 
USB mouse for it to be correctly detected
