Comment 49 for bug 292256

Same problem here with an ASUS L1400 laptop. Video card is i830M.

 lshal | grep system.hardware
  system.hardware.primary_video.product = 13687 (0x3577) (int)
  system.hardware.primary_video.vendor = 32902 (0x8086) (int)
  system.hardware.product = 'L1400B series Notebook PC' (string)
  system.hardware.serial = '000000000' (string)
  system.hardware.uuid = '' (string)
  system.hardware.vendor = 'ASUSTeK Computer Inc.' (string)
  system.hardware.version = '0001' (string)

 lshal | grep system.firmware
  system.firmware.release_date = '10/15/2002' (string)
  system.firmware.vendor = 'Award Software, Inc.' (string)
  system.firmware.version = '0201' (string)

 lspci | grep VGA
  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82830 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 03)

 lshal | grep quirk
  (empty)

Removing the two "--quirk-vbe-post" lines helps, "lshal | grep quirk" is still empty.
