	I've been researching the same issue and saw a really nice
Inspiron 5000 with a 15" SXGA+ screen running X today.  Really, really,
really nice.
	I found a web page at
http://intern.linpro.no/~janl/inspiron-5000.html

	which has been reported to work.  I also have these
links, which may or may not be useful.

 http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~steveh/inspiron/XMa64-3.3.6-steveh.tar.gz

	The answer is, it'll work.  I'm most seriously considering order
one.
