+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Hi Anne, I gave feedback with regards to serious issues when trying
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; beta 1 on a Cedarview Atom system, but apart from a couple of
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; isolated replies (thanks to those who did reply) that unfortunately
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; didn't solve the issues I got no further interest.
+</I>&gt;<i> And the bug number is?
+</I>
+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).
