I have troubles figuring out what all the different names actually

OK, that would mean to return the laptop then.  I don't want to start
maintaining a different OS just for that.

Does perhaps anyone have another recommendation for a stat-of-the-art
Dell notebook that works well with FreeBSD (at least from the X11
perspective)?  That way, we could perhaps have it replaced at the
dealer, rather than a complete return.
