The website http://www.linux-laptop.net/ has notes and howto's about
a lot of laptops. The Dell 5160 is in their list, and people seem to
have gotten everything to work.
PS: please ask these kinds of questions on debian-user@lists.debian.org
(or debian-laptop@lists.debian.org) in the future. The debian-project
list is meant for non-technical discussies about the Debian project.
