What integrated vga controllers are reccomended?
would one of these intel 865G controllers work fine, 3d support or?
Optimally something that supports xorg composite & has some xorg included driver.
Wolud this motherboard be fine:MSI 865G NEO2-PLS Hovedkort S478/800mhz I865G,SATA,ATX,LAN,Dual DDR400, VGA?

I had an 865G at work, and got it working using DRI. It wasn't the best 3d you could ask for but glgears was OK and Xorg looked fine. If you have to get an integrated VGA, this is probably a fine one (for games and stuff you would NEED a real video card).

It used to be hard to set up, but now that the i915 driver for DRM is in the kernel, I think it should be easier. There's a thread about setting it up; if you search for 865G I think you'll find it.

Good luck.
