I don't believe you. I have high end machines too... They all work.
(About 25) Some took some effort, but only a few systems with old and
cheap stuff. This is being typed on a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R motherboard
with a Inetl Corei7 Quad core, and nVidia GTS250 graphics with 24 gig of
ram. (Work system, so that is why the low end graphics) Worked out of
the box with Lucid. I believe there is a lot more to your story. Like
perhaps your "high end" stuff is the cheapest Chinese components you can
source... And they don't have drivers? <shock> Those can take a bit
more effort. Or perhaps the well known Intel i855 graphics chipset bug?
  (Fixed in Maverik, by the way)

Only being willing to put an hour into learning a new system is not a
bug we can easily patch.

But if you want help, go ahead and e-mail me. I bet I can find drivers
for much of your stuff.
