Yeh, but then why does it work if I use the onboard video as my primary 
video controller. I am able to get the PCIe or PCI video card to work 
after booting with the proprietary driver Catalyst, haven't figured out 
how to do it with the OSS drivers yet. My goal right now is to get this 
thing to boot with utlimately my HD 5770 card as either the only video 
controller with both my primary monitor panel (on my desk) and the HDTV 
as a parttime secondary display off the HDD 5770 or possible have it off 
the onboard video. I'll then concern myself with the rest. As far as I 
know the MoBo is not actually an older board as it is identified as 
using the AMD 890GX chipset and the CPU is identified as K10 Family 
64bit and no mention of Geode that I remember.

I will try booting F11 again and check that what you mentioned. The only 
thing different besides version is that it is a 32bit kernel and not a 
64bit. Either at the time I did not have a 64bit CPU or it wasn't 
readily available, I can't remember.
