[plug] linux on a dell inspiron 9400

[W.Kenworthy]

Nah, they work fine (both patched nvidia, and xorg radeon).  Its only
the flgrx drivers that seem problematic, but I use the xorg one anyway
so thats not a problem.  I use the nvidia 6629 series with a couple of
lines patched to fix resuming.  A no-brainer!
