Looks good. The right driver is used.

Add a Screen and Monitor selection to the Xorg.conf

Section "Screen"
  Identifier "Screen0"
  Device "gma500_gfx"
  Monitor "Monitor0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "Monitor0"
  VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
  ModelName "Monitor Model"
EndSection


The system boots but when GDM starts i just see a blank screen..


Switch back to tty1, kill gdm and start the X server with startx




Yes i tried that and i get an error: no screens found

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
     at http://wiki.x.org
 for help.
There are a lot of trial and error stories about the gma500 module.
An other possible solution. add
Option "IgnoreACPI" "yes"
to the device section of your xorg.conf

Success,

Tried various options today and finally modified xorg.conf with below settings made my X server start with multiple displays enabled.


Section "Device"
  Identifier "Intel GMA3600"
  Driver "modesetting"
  BusID "PCI: 0: 2: 0
  Option "Monitor-DVI-0" "DVI screen"
  Option "Monitor-VGA-0" "VGA screen"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "DVI screen"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "VGA screen"
EndSection

However, i notice that the display is not smooth. Even, when i traverse to from one menu to other i see it so shaky. Right now fighting to fix that.
 Need some guidance
