Hi,
I just bought a new Dell Laptop. It's an Inspiron 500m with the
Pentium M, integrated Intel graphics and an 1400x1050 display.
I installed Linux and access on the command line works fine. Now I
wanted to configure X but ran into loads of trouble. I downloaded the
latest Intel drivers, compile
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.
Best regards,
Magnus

Tell me what your results are. Mine seems to work fine for now. (I've

All right, I need to get some sleep now.

ys so that not even the official Windows
drivers work anymore (only the drivers from Dell still work).
So don't buy a Dell. If you're a Linux user, they don't care about
your nees as a customer. Your simply 'not supported'.

You're right, this was due to cpufreqd changing it back. If I disable
that, it stays at the 600Mhz-600Mhz range. But still, /proc/cpuinfo
always gives
cpu MHz : 1294.774
So, it's not working, is it?

However, I'd be interested to know why you chose cpufreqd over
cpudynd. I use cpudynd but for no particular reason. Is there
anything that makes cpufreqd actually superior?
