    I have the Dell Precision M6400 which has a 17" RGBLED display.
    How is linux wrt these displays ?

    Apparently XP and Vista both have trouble with these new displays (which is being taken care of in Windows 7).

    The few M6400 user reports on the Ubuntu forum suggest that the display isn't an issue apart from one user reporting a black screen after resuming from suspend.
    Others report no screen issues at all with the 180.22 drivers.
    Cheers.
