Re: [linux-dell-laptops] Re: Inspiron 8000+Ubuntu 8.04 and later
Good for you, Ted. I went through so many configurations I don't know what was going on with my system. I do know that for some reason xorg wasn't automatically choosing the r128 driver. My current configuration does. My Hsynch is 31-75 and Vsynch is 50-85.

Re: Inspiron 8000+Ubuntu 8.04 and later
I have an Inspiron 8000 with Hardy Heron in front of me right now
Thanks for the Fn-F7 tip, didn't know this. But re screen res - All I did was edit xorg.conf - in the "Monitor" section somewhat optimistically added
HorizSync 30.0-110.0
VertRefresh 50.0-150.0
Restarted X and bang! 1400x1050. This is on a vanilla xorg.conf from install, didn't install anything or add any drivers...
