Re: MoBo Driver
Without referring to the specs for that mobo, I will offer the following:
- the Linux kernel will support all the really important items (hard drive SATA or ATA interface, ethernet, PCI bus, USB, ATAPI, chipset and memory, etc.)
- if there's an onboard sound chip, then the ALSA project probably has a driver, unless the chip is so cutting edge that one hasn't been written yet
- lm-sensors may or may not be able to support some or all of the thermal sensors (research at their web site will yield the details on that subject)
- onboard "hardware" RAID will NOT be supported by a Linux driver
- any other exotica probably will not be supported
other thoughts:
- hddtemp will pull the hard drive temps for you, if you want them
- if you use an Nvidia card, nvclock will pull the GPU temp for you
- gkrellm is a reasonable system monitor for starters. For serious, and involving a serious learning curve, you can use conky

Re: MoBo Driver
It's not that it doesn't function there are some great utilities that Gigabyte offers to increase performance and conserve power; also it is compatible with AMD's own overclocking/optimizing software. And has just about everything itegrated except graphics
info on the Mobo can be found at http://www.giga-byte.com/Products/Mo...ProductID=3038
My graphics card is aHIS H467QS1GH Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX
