If you're very very lucky. I've been trying P4 snapshots of the wpi driver weekly and have had no success (I should probably send in details of this...) Apparently it works for some, and not for others. It isn't in current for sure. I have a script that can pull the latest dev. versions from perforce if you would like to try it. If wifi is important to you, you're probably better off trying to get them to supply it with an atheros based card, or replace it with one, as even if the wpi driver worked, it wont work as well as an ath, the benefits of open documentation. 1440x900 would be the widescreen equiv. of 1400x1050, which works 'ok' on my GMA 950 based graphics. It only works 'ok' because most laptop manufacturers don't bother to fix the video BIOS to add the correct modes for the panel they attach to it. I can use an app called 915resolution (in ports) to set the correct modes, and then X works perfectly. I don't know whether it will also work with GMA X3100, or even whether Dell ship dodgy video BIOS - HP did :/ --=-/mXp6LjQgo9PdqFrAkpz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBGgim8lcRvFfyds/cRAo3PAJ9XMvcTx4hW3UEEQhP4wVjhUWddxACgpAy9 YozY8MfAuzY7D+3JXiTCd9U= =nUpw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-/mXp6LjQgo9PdqFrAkpz--
