I would be suprised if you really needed to change the motherboard; just because a vendor will not support Linux does not mean that Linux will not work on that hardware (HP will not support Linux on my notebook, for example, but Knoppix runs fine on it). But if they really did a "special design" for that AGP slot then there certainly might be an issue. You might be able to find some discussion of it on a regular Linux forum rather than the Knoppix forum. If you have tried all of the video related cheat codes in the cheat codes section of the wiki, I don't know what else you could do other than use Google to see if other forums are discussing this motherboard.
