Hi Christopher,

Thank you for the information. I have updated the BIOS as described in:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate
and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellBIOS

anders@inspiron:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s
bios-release-date
A09
07/11/2008

Hope this solves the few issues I have seen.

Best regards
Anders
