Tim, I've got a Dell 3800 laptop with the 650Mhz Piii in and for the most part it works fine under linux. I'm using Xfree 4.01 with Suse 6.4 and the display looks good, as Ben Rosenberg has said dont use SAX to setup X. As for sound, I havent tried to set this up yet (i'm waiting until i get hold of Suse 7 and will reinstall then), but I understand that the commercial version of the OSS drivers is supposed to work (note I havent confirmed this) but I dont know at all about the ALSA drivers. As far as I know the speedstep stuff is working (i havent had any problems anyway) ttfn Tim
Hi everyone, I was "browsing" over at the Dell site, and I was just wondering if anyone know how compatible the Dell Inspiron 3800 series (the one with the ESS Maestro 3i series sound card and 600MHz Intel Pentium III Speedstep CPU) is with Linux and ALSA? Mainly, I just was wonder how compatible that sound card is with OSS or perferably ALSA, and how well it's ATI 2x AGP 8MB RAGE MobilityM-1 3D video card would work with X 3.3.6 or 4.01?
Thanks, Tim
