I don't know if people just get sick and tired of hearing this but I think it would be mighty cool if better support for toshiba laptops was added in the next release...

Thanks for the reply, I did read that thread. It's a good idea, but I don't think that my antiquated laptop will boot a heftier linux other than DSL and Puppy. It may though and I will probably give it a try...it is still a hoop though and still a rather high one...I still think it would be a great ...

This is definitely a newbie suggestion but sooo many people have such an issue with it...why can't there be better support for Toshiba laptops? A person has to jump through so many hoops to get Puppy working on a Toshiba. It would be nice if it was a bit simpler...

Thanks for the reply, yeah, I tried both sets of drivers...I'm assuming the 7184 drivers are one of the 2 sets included...

oops...

Hey guys, I tried the install in 2.15 but it was a no go. I just installed a gforce 2 mx200 pci card in order to get 3dcc up and running but no matter what I do X wont start. If you can shed any light on the subject I would really appreciate it... Thanks!

Sorry about that, it's an nvidia vanta pci 16meg. I'm using xvesa so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I tried running the 3DCC and it lets me install everything but the nvidia drivers. When I select it and hit go nothing happens...

Thanks for the help!

Hey everyone, I'm running a PIII 550 with 256MB of ram with a full install on a 40gig HD with a 256MB swap partition. I might be wrong but it seems like things should operate a little faster than they do. The computer is used pretty much totally for internet browsing, but while you're trying to scro...

I hope I'm not offending anyone by asking about better support for toshiba laptops with trident display adapters. Is that just a really off the wall request? If it is someone can just tell me and I'll shut up I promise.

Nothing about the toshiba support?... It's probably a dumb question isn't it? I'm such a newb.

Ok, yeah, I just finished trying to run the xorgconfig yet another time but still with no luck. The only thing that I did different this time was to use option #7 for the hsync as option 6 had a maximum of 48.5 (31.5 - 48.5) khz and as you posted it should be 48.61. Option #7 has 31.5 - 57 for the f...

Anyone have any ideas about how to do this, or why xvidtune doesn't seem to make any changes?

Thanks for the reply, sorry it has been so long since my last post. I kinda got burnt out trying to get this thing working and searching all over for answers. I think I may have forgotten where I left off so please forgive me for any stupid questions.... The first stupid question is: Do I manually e...

Would it be too much to ask to get better support for toshiba laptops in 2.15? I've pretty much given up on trying to install it on my Toshiba with its trident display adapter.

What do you think? Is this the end for the Toshiba?

I saw most of that stuff but where did you get the Hsync?

Thanks for the reply, I downloaded 2.11 if you would like to help me out... conradcliff Iwill help you tomorrow(Saturday). Between now and then, you will need to go to the toshiba site and look up the monitor specs on your laptop. We will need the vertical and horizontal refresh rates along with th...

Well, I want to thank you for all your help so far. I really do appreciate it. You were right about that one line, 261 on my machine, I did have it commented out. I did everything all over again and once I hit xwin it asked about the keyboard and after that when it tried to run X it failed and told ...
