Hi, I'm having the exact same problem as you do, even though I have the Inspiron 500m (bought in Germany). Same graphics chip, though. The problem is that Dell just doesn't provide the needed Video BIOS update.
Intel describes the needed update here: http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/linux/graphics.htm#6 I'm currently working very hard on the Dell support (I had to get really angry until the guy accepted that I really do have a clue and know what I'm talking about). I want to know who's responsible for BIOS upgrades and pressure them into providing an update. I haven't had any success whatsoever yet, though, but I'll let you know as soon as I get new information. They just keep insisting they don't support Linux and stuff. I hope I can put some pressure on them, though.
