Intel gma3600 cedar trail Netbook blank screen

Greetings,

I had no luck in setting up Xorg with the proper configuration for the gma3650 in my hp mini 210 which is not supported with arch. I tried to setup with vesa and fbdev when I run X -configure it configures properly but starts with blank screen in both drivers. I have tried issuing "cvt 1024 800", it generates a modeline so I add it to the monitor's section but still starts with blank screen. I have setup and compiled the kernel with gma 3600 support in the mainline release and also with the stable 3.5 but still no luck with the above commands.
I don't want to move to using Meego which is supported by intel instead of arch for just a video driver. I just want a basic screen with native resolution so I can work with basic X server.

was there anyone had any luck to start X server with this exasperating atom n2600 and n2800??

Just wanted to report that it's working fine for me with an Asus X101CH (N2600 with GMA 36000). Using xf86-video-fbdev.
