Has anyone got gma3650 or gma3600 working?

Hi,

I'm currently considering buying this netbook:

It has the dreaded gma3650 chipset, which seems to cause lots of issues.  I have found this on the wiki:

Just wanted to see if anyone else has got this working before I splash the cash.

Many thanks in advance.

My advice... stay away. Far away. Fbdev doesn't give you any acceleration whatsoever. There's the emgd driver, but if you'll get that one to work is a very big *if*.
