I have an Intel DN2800MT which typically runs headless as my dev machine.
It sits on a book shelf and gets plugged into the TV when I need to
work directly on it.

The Video works OK with the 10.04 LiveCD (2.7.3?) and with whatever
kernel you end up with when you do-release-upgrade from there to
Precise. A clean install of Lubuntu (3.2.0) also works OK.

However, I don't seem to get any video output (on VGA or HDMI) ports
when I use the Xenomai kernel from Machinekit, (3.5.7) or the
rt-preempt kernel from mah.priv.at (3.10.4)

I am wondering if it might not be simpler just to buy a less troublesome MB.

And, as a side-effect of the installer ISO using a 3-pixel high font
(literally: http://imagebin.org/281099) I just realised that I missed
the step where it makes a 2GB swap partition on the 8GB SSD, so now
the disk is 100% full again and I can't do anything.

I think that these new kernels and new-fangled RT systems are just too
much trouble for me to be bothered with.
