I'm trying to get Movix working with my Inspiron 700m.
http://movix.sourceforge.net/
For those who don't know, Movix is an ultra-lightweight Linux distribution designed for playing media files -- you can even have it boot off a USB drive. My idea is to be able to have a small partition on my HDD which will allow me to watch a DVD without having to boot all the way into Windows.
Movix does a pretty good job of that and if you have a Dell with a 4:3 screen, this is something you should check out.
The i700m is tricky with its 1280x800 resolution. I've tried playing around with the fb.modes with little success. Any suggestions?
