Yes, fresh install using the Mageia 2 beta 1 netinstall ISO, I selected the LXDE desktop to keep the install size small. > Switch to tty2 after booting to runlevel 3. It should let you log in. Well if I press Ctrl-Alt-F2 after waiting 10-15 seconds after the screen goes into standby during boot, I still don't get the a video signal back. I can then press Ctrl-Alt-Del and the system will shut down cleanly so it's not frozen, it's only the video output that doesn't work with Mageia.
