H'lo Branko,

No nvidia.  The M2A-VM mobo has builtin ATI Radeon X1200 capability so
I have no need for a separate video card.

As to the IOMMU, I've already changed the BIOS to allow the maximum
memory usage (256MB) for the purpose.  The change hasn't stopped the
"IOMMU out of space" messages.

I'm truly looking for someone running 64 bit gentoo on the M2A-VM mobo
and using a new kernel with the CONFIG_AMD_IOMMU capability.

Regards,

David
