Hallo Christoph, thanks for warning me now (I was just about to give Dell my credit card number ;).
In fact, I was expecting a vanilla fedora 14 to be working without trouble (I don't consider compiling and installing xorg userland code serious trouble). Tracking/Compiling/Installing kernel sources surely is effort I'd like to avoid. I would appreciate if you could point me to resources dealing with the "trouble" you mention. BTW: They are offering a Latitude E6510 w/ i7-640M best regards Andreas On Fri, 2011-01-14 at 13:58 +0100, Christoph Lukas wrote: > Hi Andreas, > > > thanks for the quick response. > > > > Doing some research, I got a little further: > > > > Their offering an Intel Core i7-640M based system.
