So after hours of utter frustration I can only conclude this: inspiron 8000 is not for linux It's as if they are laughing at me. The ATI Rage Mobility M4 does not work well under linux except for the VESA driver. VESA=bare minimum driver to run anything at all. That works okay, but ATI's proprietary driver does not support this video card AT ALL. The DRI from freedesktop.org, which actually did work on my HP ze5470us (sp?) makes X start with the screen at what looks like 640x480 and it's totally scrambled and unusable. It's like watching those scrambled porn channels, but it's not even half as exciting because you know you're not going to be seeing any boobs :(
Anyways, I moved into my new cube on Friday, and it's with Keith, my super huge boss. It's a little crammed. The desk is nice I suppose, it's at least blue instead of blah beige. It's like, modern basement as opposed to 60's no taste basement. I finally put my new computer desk together at home. It's not too shabby. It's the first time I have had an actual computer desk at my house since I moved out of my parent's house 5 years ago. I guess I can't complain, but I will anyway.
