Hi -

I have been fairly successful intalling Ubuntu 7.40 on my Toshiba
Satellite A105-S4254. I would like to submit the information. ]
Is there a template I should use for that purpose?

Thanks!

I have a Toshiba Satellite Toshiba A105-S2051, PSAA2U-049018. I dual boot with Windows XP Home and PCLinuxOS 2007. I am trying to convert over all the way to linux, but have not yet accomplished it.

Experiences so far:

Video works great on bootable CD or hard drive install.

Wi-fi works with updates to WPA supplement and Atheros driver.

I have not got the PCMCIA slot to work, but I just have not had the time or
the need to check the drivers.

Built-in Ethernet works out-of-the-box.

Don't know about the built-in modem (who uses those anymore).

The system runs great with linux on it; can't wait until I switch over
completely.

Machine Name: Satellite A105-S4002
Distribution: Kubuntu 6.10

The install went perfectly, and everything works. There is only one issue I've
found, and that would be that the integrated Intel wireless doesn't like to
work on boot, so you have to use the physical switch to disable the card, go
into the System Settings (KDE only. GNOME users use whatever Ubuntu uses for
your control panel), Network Settings. Switch to Administrator Mode and
disable the wireless card. Enable the card, but don't flip the switch for
about fifteen seconds, and then power the wireless on. With luck, it should
work.

That has to be repeated on every boot, unfortunately. Also, the hotkeys don't
work, so I'm going to see what I can do about fixing that, and will update
whenever I do so.

Attached is the xorg.conf file, as generated by the Ubuntu/Kubuntu installer.
