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).
