Hm... You got RedHat's sound support to work on an Inspiron 3800?
Is there some sort of mini-faq that I could follow on this? I eval'd
the pay-for drivers, but they generated a sort of nasty hum
on my Slackware system. I'd be interested in seeing what drivers
RH was using, and trying to wedge them into my Slack install.
Thanks!

Geoffrey,
I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 3800 700Mhz with the speedstep. I
haven't really looked into whether linux can support the speedstepping
(would love to know if anyone has!) but basically I'm running a dual-boot
win2k/RH7.0 box and Redhat 7.0 worked fine except I had to tweak the sound
as the maestro 3 sound card "isn't supported" (whatever that means :)).
Anyway, under linux, the laptop runs at the regular 700Mhz but under
windows it runs at (I think) 500-550Mhz when its running on battery power.
Overall I'm really pleased with the unit and would recommend it to anyone.
