Hmmm, Mageia 2 beta 1 disables screen output (the monitor goes into standby) as soon as the kernel activates the frame buffer during boot... Obviously the kernel doesn't like the GMA 3600 for some reason.

You obviously need the code Intel put into the MeeGo kernel and perhaps also the closed source user-space binary even though you're running the board headless. Until someone reverse-engineers enough of this closed source crap, that is. Yes, the GMA3600 code that's in the Meego CedarTrail ISO is als...

So you're apparently getting the benefit over the D945GSEJT other people have measured, but only with the driver Intel put in MeeGo. Have you tried to run MeeGo on the D945GSEJT to see what power consumption you get in that case? There is no need to try Meego on the D945GSEJT, as the D945GSEJT is f...

I have this board now, but I'm struggling to accieve single digit power consumption with Centos 6.2 (headless, GPU disabled in BIOS). I'm seeing 12.5 Watts idle which is more than I had with Centos 6.2 on the old D945GSEJT (10.5 Watts idle with the same power brick and a PCI 10/100 NIC card). I brie...

If you're so inclinded, it would be interesting if you could check if the graphics driver included in this works well: http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/updates/1.2.0/images/meego-netbook-ia32-cedartrail Thanks for the link, I should be getting a DN2800MT early next week and will definitely be testing th...
