But I have an Inspiron 7500, and it's worked well with FreeBSD. I can't say the same for some other machines, notably the Inspiron 5100 which is supposed to have replaced it. > The Toshiba runs 1024x768, the Dell 1400x1050 That's why I bought my Dell.

If you don't mind wiping the disk of the Toshiba, it's worth trying that first. If you have difficulty, I'm sure you won't have with the Inspiron. But you won't know until you try.
