Method 6: Dell RPM
Dell has started releasing drivers for Redhat Linux. See http://support.dell.com/us/en/filelib/system.asp?sid=INS_PNT_P03_7500. If you're not using RedHat, however, you're still out of luck. Also, in the case of X, their rpm file simply contains a XF86Config file which doesn't work with the 15" I7.5ks. So basically, I do not recommend using this, but the option is listed for completeness. If it doesn't work for you, I don't want to hear about it, because it didn't work for me either .
