Linux claims to support the ACPI standard. This motherboard claims to support the ACPI standard. Ergo, Linux support is implicitly claimed by transitivity, barring bugs. If you bought a desk that was rated for holding 100 pounds of stuff, and it collapsed because you put 75 pounds of monitors on it (well, they were big CRTs...). You call the company, and they refuse to honor the warranty because they don't provide CRT support, despite their desk being certified for 100 pounds of weight. Now, if you're saying that it's ridiculous to expect a cheap manufacturer to actually conform to the specs they say they do... well, you may have a point.
