Some models of the Vostro 1310 include the NVIDIA Geforce 8400M. This chip has been reported to work with the proprietary nvidia modules.
Some versions of the Vostro 1310 include the Dell Wireless 1395 and 1505 controllers which are Broadcom based. These are not well supported under Linux and should be avoided if possible. If you are about to order this laptop it is recommended you select an Intel wireless option as tested here.
The sound on the Vostro 1310 works but depending on which ALSA version you are running you may have issues with headphones and the microphone. If this is happening you will need to update to the latest version of ALSA. The guides on this site should help.
The Dell Vostro 1310 work very well with Linux. If you avoid the Broadcom based wireless controllers then running Linux on this laptop is simple.

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 413c:8140 Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 360 Bluetooth
mic needs kernel >= 2.6.28 iirc, older versions don't work don't detect it.
depending on your wifi card, you may need ndiswrapper.
running x86_64 kernel 2.6.29 on gentoo linux
Can run Linux SUSE11.1 on Dell new Vostro 1310 laptop?
nothing I can do to patch the wireless chipset all information given do not work to do it
What linux distribution did you use ?
Was it x86-32 bit or 64 bit ?

So close of working perfectly.
I should have read this article before…
I ordered a broadcom based wireless.
I have not tested the webcam yet, because i am trying to solve the wireless problem. But the rest of the issues are done.
I use Slackware 12.1, but I had to compile the new stable kernel version.
That's it.
Perfect
Works perfectly well.
