Yeah; I knew (or was pretty sure) that it was down to the chip level at this point, but as you say, for driving the price down, there's nothing like the single-chip solution, and this is apparently just far enough off the edge of the popularity curve that it's not in any single-chip solutions (that I know of, and board-level hardware isn't really my game).
Practically all desktop LCDs do have a single chip that eats VGA and outputs LVDS. All you would need is a suitable ROM with modelines for it to work with a laptop screen. But these parts run hot and come in gigantic TQFP packages (when compared to the form factor of ICs in laptops.) Making a replacement card that fits in a laptop instead of the motherboard is quite possible. Sadly, I have neither the time nor the motivation since I already have a SpiderDuo :)
