Re: no X in inspiron 5150 (no screens found)
I upgraded, and sure, it is working now in glorious 1200x1600. I had
noticed the debian ftp, but I did not know the apt config line. With
PCMCIA, network, sound and X now configured in my new laptop life is
beautiful now. A sweet little machine. Thanks a lot.
The panel is UXGA, Dell specs don't list the manufacturer, but it does
work.
Cheers
