I have a Toshiba laptop satellite 4080xcdt with slackware 9.1 installed with kde I use startx at start up to get in the V.I mode which is cool I see the KDE graphical interface the only problem was that the size of the display is standard 640x480
I have a Toshiba Stallelite 2210 (quite older than yours, as you can see) and have run different versions of Mandrake (starting at 8.2; now with 9.0) with no problems. In fact, I remember trying once with Slackware and it WAS painful!
I tried with xf86cfg (a GUI equivalent of xf86config) and got quite satisfactory results; I think it should work well, since at least your combination of graphics card & screen are working.
I would give it a try; and if it doesn't work, my suggestion is, keep on with Linux but try another distro. I have some (little) experience with both Slackware (fascinating) and Mandrake (comfortable); usually I had no problems with Mandrake detecting hardware.
I hope this is of some use, and that you don't give up with Linux. Bárbara
so I decided to take some action with the xf86config command and I have tried most of the setting to match the display speech of my laptop which can run in 1024x763 24bit I know this because that’s what it was running at when I was using windows. Im getting really tired you are my only hope before I killdisk the thing and install windows. Please help me if you can any suggestions just let me know……. Toshiba is no help they don’t even tell me the hz and vsync refreash rate settings
Im really tried just look at my spelling
Ive spent allnight with this thing and hence thus email
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
