Thanks but neither nokmsboot nor i915.modeset=0 make much of a difference. With nokmsboot I get the mageia splash screen for a second or too (I wasn't seeing that before), but after that the monitor still goes into standby. i915.modeset=0 has no effect. The following Meego ISO works fine with this mobo (both kms and xorg): http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/updates/1.2.0/images/meego-netbook-ia32-cedartrail/ Also Centos 6.2 boots fine to runlevel 3 without disabling anything (probably because the Centos 6.2 kernel doesn't have any support for the GMA3600).
