Motherboard compatibility - AMD

[Kenneth Koym]

Hello Fernando, Scot & John: kindly ignore my earlier request. I learned
it's feasible to do a gconftool correction in terminal:
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel

Finally,reload panel:

  pkill gnome-panel
it worked and I'm using my laptop again. Thanks again.
Kenneth
