I would recommend against Dell without seriously investigating the hardware on
the system you are interested in. I needed a system and in an emergency and did
not want to wait for shipping (silly me).
The system is an Inspiron 1764. If anyone has an xorg.conf file for this system,
it would be greatly appreciated. My system is FreeBSD 8.0.

I have installed the current package for xorg-7.4_2.
The monitor/controller from pciconf -lvc:

startx and Xorg -configure give the same error[s]:

I have tried the intel driver (it does not recognize the device), the i810
driver (not found). With the vesa driver I have tried supplying the 1024x768 and
1600x900 modes in all depths and supplying a range for hsync and vsync that
includes the scanned values.
Thanks for any pointers
