Well, if I go to Dell's Web site, the "7000 Series" only lists the 7520
and the 7720 now, so I'm guessing that the 7510 may have been last
year's model...?  As far as actual components... who can say?

Indeed; as note the M4800 worked fine for me, and the M4400 worked fine
before that, and various Inspiron/Latitude laptops before that -- all
Just Worked.

I'm content to get it working in either stable/11 or head for now.

I posted a somewhat more detailed bit of poking to hackers@ a few
minutes ago.
