Hi, I'd assume this list to be more appropriate than debian-user. I'm considering this laptop (or a similar one) but i'd like to know if there are drivers for it first.So far i haven't found any decent specs regarding the chipsets it may use.
It has a Radeon HD 6450M graphics card (AMD/ATI provides a binary driver) and the Wireless chip might be Intel (or Atheros). I'm at a loss when it comes to other components like 3G, LAN, Bluetooth, AHCI, etc. There are some fairly complete spec sheets at csd.toshiba.com but not for this model (apparently), nor is it searcheable by part number. Toshiba forums are almost completely useless as most just say We Only Support Windows™. Other forums and linux laptop sites don't seem to have this model yet. It's fairily new so i was counting on someone who bought one already. I'm beginning to think it'll probably be worth it just to stick awound with Windows7 for the whole of the warranty (instead of just long enough to check every component works as expected) while i keep searching. Any help on this department? Are there any particular brands which are more linux-friendly?
