I'm looking for motherboard with integrated graphic with the most supported in linux and x.org.
Criteria:
1)nortbridge chipset: nvidia or amd but no intel.
2)cpu: don't care. amd or intel.
3)board brand: asus,msi or dfi

point 3 is not too significant so any suggested brand still welcomed.

But the most important thing is the chipset for linux support.
Any suggestion?

Tnx.

My mobo Asus P5LD2-X/I333 Nvidia 6200 Graphic ICH7 High definition Audio High Speed Lan all on board CPU Intel Dual Core
High definition Audio works out the box with Fedora and Mandriva Suse gives some problems
Graphic card 3D easy with suse after problems it works with Fedora and Mandriva
On board LAN can not get it working use PCI ethernet card it has 3 PCI slots free
DRIVE SATA and I can also use GEneric Mass storages devices what ever it maybe
BUt I am not really a LInux expert
Hope this information is use full

all the best

Any reason you don't like Intel chipsets? I have a 945GM in this laptop and love it.

It takes linux a while to support newer hardware so you might have to move back a bit.

I currently have the gigabyte 780g microatx card and it is working in linux. I have some minor issues with it.
1. About 5% of the time on reboots it hangs after bios and after grub starts. Not that big of a deal, just power down and back up. It was worse before I added a little delay in bios for the hard disks but it may be unrelated.
2. Takes too long when starting and stopping X, particularly with the Catalyst drivers. If only running vesa it might not have been that bad. The next catalyst/sb700 drivers from AMD should fix, I hope.
3. Haven't yet gotten HDMI sound to work in mplayer or mythtv. I needed to get the 2.6.25 kernel to get HDMI sound in xine, audacious, and amarok. Sound out of regular ports (or at least the front headphones) works fine.
4. Doing lspci still shows unknown hardware. This will probably be fixed if/when AMD gets around to it.

I've gotten a gigabyte 690g (ATX) with HDMI working for a friend. It recognizes the pci components. Got 3D working with catalyst drivers. We haven't evaluated sound yet.

I have a 939 AMD board with the nforce 4 (no integrated graphics) but with a 6600gt. Seems to work well in linux and the nvidia self installer worked well.

The 7200/8200 chips from nvidia probably too new for good support. I wanted to but never got around to trying the asus 6150 hdmi board. Seems like most people having problem with this had memory that did not work well at 1.8v.

While I intend to get the other parts of the 780g working for a hdtv system, if I had it to do over I would have gotten a plain mboard and added a silent video card, probably for about the same price.

Anyway, post what you decide and how it works out.

Good question. The Linux drivers supplied with (K)Ubuntu support my Intel graphics and sound chipsets better than Microsoft Windows could ever hope to.

Cheers

just want to spice up my life a bit to use better graphic chip(nvidia/ati)

c'mon.. why should i use intel graphic if i can use nvidia/ati in linux??
or maybe vice-versa? hope not..

I want to play some 3d games out there for linux (tremolous, flightgear,alienarena) without the hefty $$ paid for h/w.

seems this is good idea...
