Hi Michael, I believe our machines are identical, except for packaging and perhaps the LCD resolution (yours 1600x1200, mine 1400x1050). Mine is from ARM Computer, Inc. (http://www.armcomputer.com), model N38W3.
I am running the software you mention without any problems (except perhaps with X after returning from suspend mode). I am an amateur at this stuff, so can't give direct advice. You may find the attached X config file helpful, though. Also, and perhaps more importantly, a very helpful page for running Linux on the Dell i5000e is at http://ibgwww.colorado.edu/~lessem/5000e/.
