Well, I guess anything's possible but I seriously doubt that they'd have
the same subsystem pci id's; that'd be pretty irregular. However, it's
easy enough to doublecheck. Here's your PCI ID:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27ae] (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Unknown device [1043:1252]

From http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=16555:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
    Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Unknown device 82d9

That first one isn't even the same chip. But the latter two look like
they're probably the same. But the subsys device ID's are 0x830f,
whereas yours is 0x1252. So we seem to be safe.

In fact, if you google for "EEE PC lspci 1252", pretty much the only
thing that pops up is this bug report. :-)

Yes, but functionally it'll be identical to how you turned off LVDS in
your xorg.conf so if it's just for your box and you don't want to
upgrade to Intrepid, then just use the xorg.conf workaround. I'll push
this out to hardy next time I do quirk syncs, when we're closer to the
intrepid release.
