Thanks for the reply.
The laptop has the 3D screen and does NOT have the optimus card.
As far as I know, its a plain "NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M 3GB" graphics card.
How could I run lspci prior to booting to find out ?
With grub2, is there a way to force a graphical boot that wouldn't
invoke the error I'm seeing ?
I am going to be really peeved if I can't run Linux on the XPS17. I
ran Windows 7 for an hour and it sucks ! How an OS can run so slow on
an i7 with 16 GB of RAM is beyond me.
Might want to check this out.

GeForce GT 555M
Outstanding DX11 graphics performance and long battery life with NVIDIA®
Optimus™ technology.
Try booting a rescue disk to check hardware out(lspci).
Again check your bios to see if you can disable Optimus.
There are some efforts out there to make this work with Linux.
I think bumblebee might be getting close to working or is.
