I also have a Dell D800 as well.  I have the 1920x1200 screen (I
gather from the former output that Mike has the 1600x1200 screen).
When i switch to the external monitor, the laptop seems to lock up
... but I chalked that up to the fact that the docs say that 1900x1200
is only supported on the internal display.  I don't know what level
it's locking up at, though.

It also seems that Linux is doing a lot better at suspending Dell
machines.  I've spent some time learning how to read ACPI code, but I
havn't found anything damming in the DSDT yet ... leading me to
believe that our ACPI code itself must be the problem.

Dave.
