Supposedly the Intel GMA 900 series works with the i810 X driver.  There 
is a precompiled tinyX version of it (for libc5, glibc 2.0-2.4) posted at 
my website (search on i810):

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/blfiles.htm (description and links).

Or get it as part of an XtinyX binary package:

ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86 (subdirectories for different 
versions, binaries). libc5 and glibc 2.1 binaries are available for all 
versions.

I had no luck getting i810 to work in BL but list member Lee posted his 
success a while back.  He had to upgrade BL3 to glibc X but now there is a 
libc5 binary to play with.  The eePC should handle BL2 (at least 2GB 'hard 
drive' and 1GB RAM).  I would upgrade to glibc 2.3.2 or later to be able 
to run Firefox.  I would also upgrade libX11 to a version 4.0 which some 
programs now require.

If your eePC came with Xandros linux, see how they have it set up.

If not, try a linux live CD.  (DSL did not support i810 last I checked).
