Some things I wondered about though: - It didn't have a specific entry for the Inspiron 5000 (it had entries for the 7500 and some others). I used the 7500 entry. - I only got what appeared to be 1024x768 - with a large black band around the whole screen. This may have been on purpose because of the demo, I have no way of knowing. If I knew for sure that Xig would work in 1400x1050 (and 24 or 32 bit), I certainly would consider it.
