Precision M4400 Owner's Lounge *Part 2*

Why not ask RedHat, after all, it IS Linux you have to pay for,and 24x7 support is why your paying steep subscription fee's...no?

I notice Dell uses 5.1, is the M4400 intel network hardware supported in 5.0?

You might want to ask the question in the Linux area of this forum also, although I've rarely seen RedHat discussed there.

 

BIOS A19 is online....anyone tried it yet?

edit:
And i see they put a "backup and recovery manager" there too.

"This is a multi-language Windows 7 64-bit release of DBRM v1.2.1 for web post only. This release will update an existing factory installation of DBRM or install on a clean system. It does not require a previous version of DBRM.

DBRM v1.2.1 is functionally equivalent to DBRM v1.2 (factory version) with the following exceptions:
1. No pop-up application for customer discovery and reminder messaging.
2. No OS Media.
3. No Dell Factory Image"

No Dell factory image? So this mean it's usuable even after you've wiped the original restore partition on the HDD?

edit2:

And another surprise!!
nVidia 188.40 WHQL driver (Win7/Vista 64bit) for FX 770m

That isn't even on the nVidia site. Maybe some special version for Dell systems? I know they've been working with nvidia to get a solution on the DPC issues on several systems. Maybe this is the result of that?

 

where did you found those?

can't see them on the website.

 

They're defintely there on the Dutch Dell site

 

anywone has the intel x9100 or fx1700 on this notebook ?

and...

display port with adaptor to HDMI , have the audio ??

 

quite interesting lets see when those updates appear on the other dell sites

 

The BIOS is already on the Dell BIOS ftp site
http://ftp1.us.dell.com/bios/

Weird that the others are nowhere else yet. First time i've seen anyhting from Dell show up in my country first.....i guess i'll keep an eye out for the M4500 as well, who knows it might slip through here

 

It's also out on the German site. I won't try it out yet though.

Has anyone installed this already?


Changelog for "Dell Precision M4400 System BIOS A19":

Changelog for "nVidia 188.40 WHQL driver (Win7/Vista 32bit)":

 

Yeah i got them both installed. Good so far but i haven't really done any work with it yet.
Will report back.

 

if i use an adaptor display port - hdmi , the audio is integrated ?
