Our "variant" is a custom conglomeration - 90% is stock Moblin 2.1 with
the remaining bits being either drivers / customised packages particular
to our hardware platform, or additional packages not distributed as part
of Moblin 2.1.

Previously, we used a Moblin 2.0 user-space, along with the IVI kernel
that included the necessary patches enabling IEGD support.

In terms of hardware, the same LiveUSB image runs on our custom platform
and Dell Mini-1[02].

All of our testing has been with custom "distilled" LiveUSB images,
which include IEGD packages pre-built in a Moblin chroot development
environment.  I cannot speak to functionality on installed versions of
any of the moblin or moblin-ivi images.

We're just using a Gnome desktop.  Booting straight into X / Gnome works
in my experience.  I haven't (yet) tried any of the Moblin UX bits,
outside of ensuring that the libraries are included in our images.

As does the Quake III demo, excepting sound issues with PulseAudio...
