After a long day of trying different graphics drivers, I got the accelerated graphics to work on the Gigabyte GA-E350N mini-ITX board, with AMD E-350 D processor and integrated AMD HD 6310 graphics on Ubuntu 10.04. This board uses about 32 Watts as measured on a power meter when the latency test is running and glxgears is showing about 1000 frames/sec. Newegg sells this board for $80.00. I bought it because it has a parallel port, which seems to be getting rare.
The advice that finally fixed the graphics was: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Lucid_Installation_Guide#Ubuntu_X_Team.27s_PPA. The only issue with this board now is that it does not boot from a USB stick, and this is a known problem. The LinuxCNC latency is very good, and I posted the results to the Wiki. Next I will play with hooking up a Mesa 5i25 to it.
