No, it's not, atleast for my EEEPC 900A. eee-control depends on a
special kernel module (eeepc-acpi) made by asus. Since openSUSE 11.2 the
kernel has is own kernel module (eeepc_laptop) for this, which does the
job. All these backports of eee-control and eeepc-acpi origin from pre
openSUSE 11.2 time and shouldn't be used for openSUSE 11.2 and above.
Best they would be purged from the Build Service, because the more harm
than help.

The situation may be different for newer EEEPC models, but in this case
newer kernel versions will help. Most of the newer EEEPC will start work
fine with openSUSE 11.3.
