ASUS	M2N-VM DVI	AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+	nForce 630a Chipset										There was no clean installation as the OS was just migrated from an old (32-bit) machine to a brand new PC. (Although, I'm pretty sure a 64 bit SUSE will work here also. Will probably test it and submit the results here.) The onboard video adapter was properly configured using nvidia-xconfig after installing the latest drivers from a repository, the sound card and the network adapter work perfectly (the second one is connected to a gigabit LAN).
ASUS	M3A78-CM	AM2/AM2+	780V Chipset										Used for server, did not test audio or video besides text-mode. Runs rock-stable.
ASUS	P5N-MX	Intel LGA775 core2 duo	nForce 610a Chipset										bug triggered by cifs or streaming ethernet traffic(see Bugzilla number 409484). Not tested with integrated graphics since I am using a graphics card.
ASUS	P5QL-EM	Intel LGA775 core2 quad	Intel G43 Intel ICH10										Initial issues with the onboard graphics (driver), but now OK. Ongoing issues with sound, but I believe more of an issue created by phonon than the board itself. Otherwise, very good.
Gigabyte	GA-MA78GM-S2H	AMD	AMD® 780G(1)(2)	(2)									(1) SATA does not work prior to 11.0 (2) Soft-RAID does not work, only ACHI & ATA modes (3) Only from 11.0 Audio & LAN work out-of-box; Radeon HD 3200 works fine with fglrx incld. 3d. Board is stable in 11.0 incld 64-bit. HDMI audio will work under 11.1: 1) Disable audio in BIOS (yes! disable audio in BIOS), create /etc/asound.conf: pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm "hw:0,3" format S16_LE } } That is for HDMI audio to a monitor with 2-channel sound, did not test for surround sound. This was tested with newst fglrx from repo, crashing issue is resolved.
Gigabyte	GA-E7AUM-DS2H	Intel	NVIDIA GeForce 9400										installs out of the box, but without nvidia drivers (unsure whether the drivers support this HW yet, i could not make them work anyway).
Gigabyte	GA-965GM-S2	INTEL Core 2	Intel G965 North Bridge Intel ICH8 South Bridge										Had some problems with onboard ethernet(Marvel 8056), works fine in 11.1.
Intel	D201GLY	Intel (comes with integrated Celeron CPU)	SIS662										The SiS662 - Mirage*1 graphic card has problems. It gives a distorted image at resolutions > 1024*768. Try using the Xorg VESA driver
Intel	DG33TL	Intel Pentium Dual Core E2140	Intel G33 Express Chipset										ACPI issue stopped install from running (blank screen after kernel loaded), turning off ACPI allowed install to run but with only one core detected. Adding pci=nommconf to the kernel boot string instead of disabling ACPI allowed install to proceed with both cores detected. You might need to flash the bios, Intel provides an OS independent update that you can burn to a CD. After that, installation went smoothly, openSUSE detected everything, all components work.
Intel®	DQ965GF	Intel Pentium D 940	Intel Q965 Express Chipset										Onboard graphics not in use (PCIe graphics adapter installed). All components detected by default install, no problems, rock stable.
MSI	K9VGM-V	AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4000+	[VIA K8M890+VT8237a Chipset]										Partially tested. System installs fine on default. Finds sound and sound herd in all speakers(5.1). SATA,IDE controllers work fine.
ASUS	P5VD2-VM SE	INTEL sk LGA775	VIA P4M900 North Bridge VIA VT8237S South Bridge										Use Yast to set audio chipset Realtek ALC662: snd-hda-intel; model=3stack-6ch-dig; position_fix=0 VIA video card drivers problematic
ASUS	M2N-MX SE PLUS	AM2+	nForce 610 Chipset										To get ACPI working disable the MCP61ACPI HPET TABLE from BIOS. For the sound card set the model with yast to 3stack. LAN is working fine, USB too. The onboard Geforce 6100 card is detected properly, but without the proprietary NVIDIA drivers there is a little hang up when starting the X server
ASUS	P5N73-CM	775 Lga	nForce 630i Chipset
ASUS	M2N68-AM SE2	AM2+	Nvidia Geforce 7025 \ nForce 630a (MCP68 SE)										Was unable to setup 3D rendering using the Nvidia drivers. Had to use the older G01 drivers to enable proper video support for higher resolutions and video playback through mplayer. UPDATE: Newest Nvidia driver now works using openSUSE 11.2. All 3D rendering now present.

ASUS	H87 pro	13.1								some initial challenges 1) stock grub2 loader (grubx64.efi) from 13.1 error booting linux "invalid sector size 65535". an outdated grub2 (installer) is bundled in the DVD distribution for 13.1 solution: some clues from: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?35382#discussion apparently the stock open suse 13.1 DVD seemed to be distributed with an 'older' version of grub2 the EFI loader that gives an invalid sector size error. I'm not sure if this is a board related error. The issue is resolved by updating grub2 from the update repositories and re-doing all the grub2 install. this bummer is initially a road block getting linux to boot off HD. this can be resolved with a grub 2 update and grub2-install done properly. 2) pwmconfig / fancontrol didn't work in the stock 3.11.6 kernel that needs to be fixed with an updated nct6775 driver http://www.spinics.net/lists/lm-sensors/msg40575.html https://github.com/groeck/nct6775 or basically get/compile/install a more updated kernel with the newer nct6775 hwmon driver delivered in the upstream. after fixing the issues the board seemed to work pretty well with most functionalities: lan, usb, gpu (video), audio etc supported within linux opensuse 13.1. linux kvm/qemu (virtualization) works pretty well but it's not sure if there is dependencies to the board https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/493659-Hardware-motherboard-experience-for-new-PC?p=2650537#post2650537

Gigabyte	GA-990FXA-UD3	13.1	Profile							This applies to any other Gigabyte 990/970 AM3+ motherboard The BIOS is not properly compatible with the Linux kernel out of the box. In order for the kernel to properly detect the USB 2.0 ports, the USB 3.0 ports, and the network card, you must turn on the IOMMU controller in the BIOS then add iommu=soft to the kernel boot parameters. You can do this either in the Yast bootloader module or directly in /etc/default/grub (then run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg as root).
