It is possible to get Ubuntu working for the Intel D2700DC motherboard. Unfortunatly the only thing that works right now is HDMI output and correct resolution. This means only 2D support and no HW accelaration. HD/DVD/Bluray videos are not viewable.
If you still want to try it out, follow these steps:
take the 3.4-RC7 tree branch, unzip
copy the current contents of the gma500/ folder from the linux next-branch over 3.4-RC7 files
re-compile the kernel as 3.4-RC7 (well, with a slightly modified gma500 driver
Give it some time to load because the specific kernel booted me
directly into xorg instead of console. Also, I have disabled LVDS by
appending this to existing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX entries: video=LVDS-1:d
