While there are still some issues to be investigated, Robert provided the instructions that actually got this working on my machine. So thanks Robert! Questions that remain: - Has the module loading order issue been fixed in 2.4.18 as suggested by Frank Trenkamp? I shall try this very soon. - Can FIR be made working, for example by using the patch posted by Robert? I shall try this later. - Why is gnome-pilot so buggy? It keeps crashing on me all the time... I shall file bug reports... ;) Right. BTW, I just realized that there are lots of HOWTO:s for Dell laptops and the i8000 and i8100 in particular, but they all lack something and they sometimes provide conflicting information (probably due to differing BIOS or kernel versions etc). I was thinking of gathering all this information to one place and sorting out what works and what doesn't, why and when. Would anyone be interested in helping me out? If so, the first thing I would like to do is to identify a list of items that need to be adressed when installing Debian on one of these machines, such as "sound", "irda", "apm" and so on. So I would appreciate it if you sent me an url to your favourite Dell Inspiron 8000/8100 installation HOWTO and a list of items that the HOWTO covers. Cheers, fabbe
