hey ... the http://ubuntu1501.blogspot.com/2007/01/beryl-with-xgl-on-ubuntu-610.html link its broken ... :S:S:S:S
This blog its the best I could find, thanks

Hi redDead. I've got 6.10 Edgy Eft 32bit on Inspiron 1501. When I make it sleep using Suspend function in the menu, and then I wake if by pressing the power button, the screen is blank. Neither Ctrl-Alt-Backspace nor Ctrl-Alt-Del helps. I've tried with 'pci=nomsi' and 'pci=nomsi acpi=forge'.
Any ideas, please?
I never put any of my computers to sleep, still scared from win98's sleep mode. There is a way to do it and feisty has it working out of the box. Poke around the 'net I'm sure you'll find something.
Hi reddead, thanks for the blog, it's very useful. I'm just getting an Inspiron 1501 going, and I wonder if you have got the Fn+ keys to work? I tried Fn+UpArrow to increase the screen brightness, and it crashed X. I'm using Linux Mint 2.2 which is based on Ubuntu Edgy (and pretty good too).
in ubuntu edgy eft 6.10 the function plus keyboard shortcuts all work. wouldn't know about Linux Mint never used it
Thanks redDEAD, I'll keep on trying!
Texican, there is not a built in mic on the dell 1501 I bought. What mic are you using. Skype works really well in Linux, you can easily find a mic that works on linux with a little research.
