ok ... here is some more information
i went to http://www.linux-laptop.net/ and looked up that model. i
found some information on installing suse 6.3 at
http://loge.math.uni-sb.de/~holger/L/toshiba.html. they have their
xf86config file there and in the monitor section they have:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Primary-Monitor"
VendorName "!!! LCD !!!"
ModelName "XGA 1024X768@60HZ"
HorizSync 31.5-50
VertRefresh 50-70
Modeline "1024x768" 66.00 1024 1040 1216 1328 768 768 775 802
EndSection
and in their screen sections they have:
Section "Screen"
Driver "SVGA"
Device "Primary-Card"
Monitor "Primary-Monitor"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Driver "Accel"
Device "Primary-Card"
Monitor "Primary-Monitor"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection
you might want to try that in 8.0 first as you have that installed
currently. backup your config first so you can revert easily. if it
works in 8.0 it might be worth a try in 8.1.
my best guess is that x 4.0 has different options for that screen than x
4.1. as the screen you used to use is actually for a crtr, you might do
well to find the flat panel screen that matches better.

I am having problems to migrate my laptop (Toshiba satellite 4090XCDT)
from 8.0
to 8.1; in fact the problem appears with the X configuration, the
installation
detects the appropriate video-card (Trident Cyber 9525 generic) and as
monitor
the SVGA High frequency, 1024x768 at 70 Hz. This runs fine under 8.0,
but under
8.1 if I switch from a virtual desktop to other, or after 5 minutes the
screen
became black (this is due to the energy save activation) or I open the
computer
after a resume stop... the screen becames crazy, a intense light start
to expand
all over the screen and it seems it could be broken.
I have tried other similar configurations but ever the same problem
appears.
Finally I needed the computer to give my classes (presentation using
Staroffice
5.2) and I had to install it again 8.0.
The question is if the problem could be due to the XFree86 4.1 or to a
mandrake
8.1 bug.
In the case that this were impossible to solve, could anyone tell me
what
must I do to actualize my kde in 8.0 to the release used in 8.1?, I mean
what
files and libs I will have to update and what other actions I will need
to do.
Thanks a lot your help in advance
