@Devs... sorry for finding this place an atractive and "warm" site to post comments not straight related to the bug, but to Toshiba users, and thanks a lot for not bitching us out and supporting all our personal and; sometimes, off topic remarks. Saiid that....
@Nate.... Thanks a lot for sharing your comments. I could never agree more... 2008/3/16, nathanlanham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Yes of course I have respect for the devs work as well, i just think > that the time they spend working need to be better organized or the > development/bug teams need better organized. This is our feeling, but sure they are organized (their own way off course). We are just a minority of laptop users and just remember that they pay more attention (and concern) to the certified laptops . And I only know about some Dell, Lenovo and Asus models. Toshiba itself, has granted us this situation. I too am running Mandriva 2008 on note toshiba, it is a great distro > and only has a few things im not fond of.

I did'nt mention but I also have gutsy and feisty installed on 2 boxes in my office and they are running fine, but as u said, a few months later after hardy is sort'a stable they will be upgraded, I will not run any risk 'cause they have a tough charge of work in my office AS I said, I'm running mandriva 2008.1 on my laptop, Mandriva seems to like Toshiba laptops a lot. With the new 2.6.24 kernel, I don't need to boot with the "acpi_osi=!LInux" parameter, my GPU is very cold. I must say that I have some minor issues with my nvidia GC after the last update but I believe this will be fixed some time before the final release if not before RC2 (this is one thing I like from mandriva devs) I believe some of them are using Toshiba laptops 'case they tend to be very fast to fix toshiba related bugs. This release is very stable I must say, minor issues like the amsn mic cannot be configured but this is not such a deal. the 18 th of this month RC2 will be available, I suggest u to try it and use the powerpack theme, it is so beautifull that people here in my office is requesting me to move to mandriva ;=), oh and the fonts.. sharp and nice when you select the Subpixel LCD and light parameter in the fonts setting tab. u don't need to do anymore I think you could be right, none of the devs use Toshiba notebooks. > But honestly Toshiba notebooks are some of the most common laptops on > the market so they really should find someone to help test :) Not only mmost of the common, but have been sharing the firs sales positions for more than a decade :).

On top of this I > have had really big problems with Toshiba customer support...i just > really dont like this company and dont plan on buying anything from > them ever again...just how i feel though. Ases are made to support any kind of OS, they bellieve that the client deserves to have the choice on which OS to use, they have minor issues and googling a little bit you find that asus offers a very nice support to their users. Regarding the Dolby stuff, my colleague (an architect) he is doable booting an asus with XP and openSuse 10.3, he spends 10 to 12 hours in windows and the rest in linux :D, and after I showed off a little bit with my mandriva box, now he wants to move too ;=). And yes!!!
