Hi all,
I just bought an Inspiron 1721 b/c I had a ridiculous deal.
Its
CPU: AMD Turion 64 x2 TL-64 (2.2GHz/1MB)
RAM: 4GB pc25300 sodimm (2x2GB) (upgraded manually)
Screen: 17.0 wide screen (1920x1200)
VGA: ATI RADEON Xpress1270 256MB HyperMemory
HD: 320G (2x 160) 5400RPM SATA UDMA33
RAID: ATI [fast track(tm)]
Sound: Integrated High Definition Audio 2.0
(additional Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Audio Express yet to try)
1) Doesn't look like this video card is supported. Is there one I can
buy and replace it with thats known to work preferably at 1920x1200
or as close as I can get to it.
2) The RAID card doesn't work, I called dell directly (via my rep)
they can't tell me anything more specific about that card *sigh*
disabling the RAID card via 'Cntrl-F' in the Fasttrack utility
and in the BIOS 'F2' to Auto Detect works around this
I suppose I'll take it apart soon and look at the raid card itself.
I'm trying this with FreeBSD 8-CURRENT as of today, both GENERIC and a
custom KERNEL.

Work like you don't need the money,
love like you'll never get hurt,
and dance like nobody's watching.
