Hi,
I'm searching for a mobo which is fully compatible with Linux and
supports AMD FX 8350.
Preferably, I'm looking for one with onboard GFX, since I don't have
any need for a big GFX for now.
Any pointers?

Hi Nilesh... i just recently upgraded to an AMD8350-Bundle with the Gigabyte 78LMT- USB3 Mainboard... There were 16GB of RAM included in the bundle, not the highend-type, but as i simply wanted to have enough ressources to develop and do other things in backgroud, that one perfectly meets my requirements. There is some AMD-Chipset onboard, but as i had an older NVidia Card, im using this currently, without any problems. I really don't think there should ba any issues with mainboards that are "incompatible" to linux... USB3 works, SATA works, ... What else should work? regards, Jens -- jens reinemuth leonhard-eckel-siedlung 4 d-67483 edesheim mobil: +49.(0)176.63613420 mail: jens@reinemuth.info jabber: jens@jabber.reinemuth.info -- ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

Everything seems to work properly on Linux. So that is ruled out. What I'm now looking for is, a motherboard with on-board GFX since a discrete GFX is going out of budget for me now. -- Nilesh Govindrajan http://nileshgr.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

The lastest version working with that old graphics chip is 12.6_beta_pre897 which does work with xorg-server up to 1.12.x and the recent kernels (3.8) with some patches. But there is no promise that xorg-server 1.13.x or future kernels will be supported. I haven't tried recently but e.g. googleearth didn't play well with any other drivers in the past (at least).
