first of all: nothing is known that VIA based chipsets suffer from the same issue that SIS based chipsets suffer from. actually the problem with SIS chipsets is mere WINDOWS DRIVER based than anything else.
and next: the chipset is quite new and so is the board. i don't quite see the problem.

btw. did you try setting widescreen modes? which driver did you use?
If you email me include [WIMSBIOS] in the subject.

did you use the VIA drivers from the VIA site?
does the connected device support widescreen modes?
is the .inf file installed? (assuming there is some kind of MS Windows installed)
