Slackware 10.0 & Ubuntu Warty 4.10
on Satellite A65-S1067

Hi, I just wanted to explain the difficulties I had with this laptop.
I've run two distros and two kernels over the past two weeks. Specs are available at this site:

I'm running Slackware 10.0 and Ubuntu Warty 4.10 on this and the problems are as follows.

ACPI/APM
The BIOS says it's a ACPI supported, but I don't whether it is an authentic toshiba bios
or a pheonix BIOS. Because of this, I've had trouble using the toshiba-utils package
and also if I use ACPI, it is very buggy and causes random shutdowns because the
motherboard would overheat and the fan would not turn on.

Video
I haven't gotten 3D acceleration to work on this ATI IGP 7000 video card. I've tried
Slackware's X.org as well as Ubuntu's deprecated Xfree86 and both can give me a
maximum of 300 FPS in glxgears and tuxracer is sluggish.

PCMCIA
When I run /sbin/lspci with my Linksys WPC54GS w/ Speedbooster in the PCMCIA/Cardbus
slot, I get nothing except for Texas Instruments Cardbus Controller. The card itself gets power,
but hardware is not present when I use ndiswrapper for this card. I do not know whether to
include somthing in the pcmcia scripts to probe for the right slot.

Other than that, everything else works (sound (not the speaker, but headphones using
alsaconf), touchpad, external mouse etc.)
