Are you using the AOpen miniPC MP965-DR found at
http://minipc.aopen.com/Global/spec.htm

I have two of these and they both have the following id's
{ PCI_CHIP_I965_GM, 0x8086, 0x1999, quirk_ignore_lvds },

As you say, perhaps they have revised them (or you have a different
device).  I always thought it strange they were using the intel id
(0x8086) rather than the AOpen one (0xa0a0).
