XPS 1330 update

Just thought I'd write a quick update on the new Dell XPS M1330 laptop.
The only two issues I'd report on the laptop thus far:
The "D" key seems to stick if I hit it a particular way.
On resume from suspend, the screen resolution drops to some abysmal level – 1024×768 instead of the default. Nothing I've done seems to fix it. I've searched in a lot of places online and haven't found a resolution to the issue.
I'm working on getting my WWAN card activated because I want to try that service out and see if that is an acceptable replacement for my normal cable modem at home, which I don't use that much. I'll write more about that soon.

  1. Helpful post, though in 8.04 you need to double click on the volume control, click on Edit/Preferences, then check External amplifier to be visible. The switches tab then appears. Uncheck External amplifier in that tab. Worked for me anyway.
