The main problem will be the trident cyberblade. It's a totally bollocks video chipset... I had a 4 Mb one in a toshiba 4030.
Try an older version of X... These links may help http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/malfer1/articls/toshiba.htm http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/toshiba.html I used to use twm with nothing particularly flash or heavy on the old machine, and it was fine most of the time. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Himmelmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 3 August 2005 6:58 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Toshiba 1800-100 Graphics I only have some problems with 2d-graphics. When I try to play Flash-games they are extremly slow and the cursor flickers while it is over the movie. Fading effects, e.g. what happens with the background when one clicks on System -> Log Out in Gnome 2.10, and scrolling are also slow. The former owner of the laptop said that he experienced somthing similar with Fedora. Easy things such as moving windows still work well. I found out that the grahics card is a trident CyberBlade: 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1 (rev 5d) I tried googling for the card/laptop but I could only find things that are too old. I also had a look at xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log but could not find anything there: [xorg.conf] ... Section "Device" Identifier "Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1" Driver "trident" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" VideoRAM 8192 EndSection ... [/var/log/Xorg.0.log] ... (WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory) ... I heard that some people have problems with ACPI and that using APM instead should work. I am not sure what ubuntu uses as I have not compiled this kernel myself. Whatever it does use, it seems to work. I can powersave the monitor, display battery usage and even hibernate.
