So I got XFree86 to work on this Inspiron 5100, FINALLY :) I ended up going the DRI route and commenting out AGP in the kernel, since it now uses the Radeon DRI kernel module. 'XFree86 -configure' still doesn't work, but I was able to cobble together a working XFConfig. Now I have the problem where now when I load X11, and pressing any key on the keyboard now goes thru a series of zoom levels instead of providing input. This was working fine for the past 48 hours, and I can't fathom what I may have done to cause this (X11 is now unusable in this state) Now when I can get that straightened out and I can find a driver for the on-board Broadcom NIC (yes, I know it doesn't exist thanks to Broadcom), this system will be perfect. :) Best Wishes - Peter -- [ http://www.plosh.net/ ] - "Earth Halted : Please Reboot"
