Does Linux have a CMOS Setup Application, possibly from a LiveCD?

The motherboard does, however, default to the crappy
onboard video (with an astounding 4MB of video ram)
when the CMOS is reset, and must be told manually that
another form of video is present.  Prior experience
with this motherboard in both Windows and Linux has
shown that unless you turn off the onboard video RAM,
the OS used tends to believe the motherboard's lies
that the onboard video (when enabled in CMOS) is the
only video present.

Believe me, if the money existed to simply replace the
motherboard, I'd be more likely to go in with a
soldering iron or just buy a replacement.
