And the bug number is? Does your post mean you looked at the info I provided in the previous emails and you concluded that I'm hitting a bug? As I said before I don't know if I'm hitting a bug or if it's a configuration issue, that's what I was trying to find out here. My main problem is I don't really understand how the GMA3600 needs to be configured, I don't know what this DRM kernel driver that's included in 3.3.7rc7 is, is it equivalent to a framebuffer driver, or do I still have to use the generic vesa framebuffer? Regardless of that, out of the box I'm not getting any picture with this GPU (the screen goes into stand-by once the DRM kernel module is activated at boot). I did manage to manually configure xorg to use the generic vesa framebuffer but this way I don't seem to get any DRI capability which I thought the GMA3600 DRM kernel module was supposed to provide. There don't seem to be any docs anywhere with regards to this, neither in the kernel docs nor on the internet, at least I didn't find anything. As it stands Mageia is unusable on a Cedarview Atom for a normal user, and even I'm quite at loss here as I only managed to get generic vesa xorg working (after a lot of trial and error). At least with other distros (Centos 6.2 or Fedora 17 alpha) xorg with the generic vesa driver works out of the box (but those distros don't have the latest kernel with the GMA3600 DRM kernel module).

Well, if it doesn't work for you out-of-the-box then yes, AFAIK you are hitting some kind of bug. It's bug at least for you. And you should report it so we can track it. Complaining in the list has no use here. You can't assign thread to some packager. If it comes out that it's not bug but some kind of other problem then there is solution for that - it's called RESOLVED - INVALID. ;) -- Sander

Given that Cedarview Atom will be on most Netbooks this year I would have expected more interest in getting Mageia to work on them. Therefore I say it again, I'm available to do any reasonable tests you want me to do or provide any logs you need to get this solved (see my previous mails for details I already provided so far).
