Hi Pascal, welcome to Ubuntu-UK.

The following page may be of help:
http://ryan.nfshost.com/articles/inspiron6400feisty
It suggests you will need to install the fglrx drivers

There's a list of install reports for Linux on Dells at:
http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/dell.html
where there are a few other Inspirons listed

If you still need help, please gve us some info on your graphics card 
(manufacturer, type, etc)

HTH
