Hi,

I would try a LiveCD too see if it works on the Dell.

BTW, what model of Dell?

This link and others are available from 'Slackware-Links'. More than just SlackwareŽ links!

I use Linux Mint with Dell Latitude d400, and it works flawlessly. I just needed to disable compiz* (my graphic card doesnt like it much).
