+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):

+
+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).
