Has anyone on the list used a motherboard that uses the Via KT400 AGPset? I just purchased a Gigabyte GA-7VAX that has it.

I'm using exactly that motherboard with no problems. There was an issue with DMA not being enabled on the IDE controller, but at the time, using kernel 2.4.19-rc2-ac3 fixed it. I'm not sure if this fix went into 2.4.20 or if you still need an ac kernel.

I have the 7VAXP. I only had problems with AGP and sound, and using 2.4.20-ac2 absolutely everything on this board works (finally - sound!). AGP worked in 2.4.20-ac1 as well as 2.4.21-pre1. I think the the IDE issue was resolved in 2.4.20.

The AGP only works if the chipset is in 2.0 compatability mode. Luckily some BIOSen out there seem to do that if a 2.0 card is present. If you have an AGP 3.0 card in there you're shit out of luck right now. I'm working on it..
