All, The patches will not work do to a limitation in the Dell system BIOS and Intel VBIOS. Dell locks their pre-allocated (once called stolen) memory at 1MB and therefore you will be limited in modes on Linux since the VBIOS limits its modes to the amount of pre-allocated memory. Intel has implemented a workaround, but it would require Dell to implement one of Intel’s latest VBIOS drops in there systems BIOS and then update the system BIOS. I would expect any 855 release of system BIOS from Dell in the next 2 months to have the VBIOS that allows the Xserver to report memory it allocated to the VBIOS and the modes could be adjusted.
