Getting X to work on an asus eeebox

Make sure that xorg.conf looks like this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Configured Video Device"
    Option      "monitor-LVDS"  "LVDS"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier  "LVDS"
    Option      "Ignore"    "True"
EndSection

Otherwise, the output will go to the LVDS port, which is not used on the eeebox.

Found the answer here.
