Debian Gnu/Linux Sarge on Satellite
M30-801
Hi, i've successfully installed Linux on a M30-801 Centrino Toshiba
notebook by using the kernel 2.4.26-2.6.6-2.6.7-2.6.8.
i see it's not listed, and i would like to inform you that it
works very well..
I'm still not able to use the SD memory slot and the 56K modem,
but everything else works..
The speed throttling feature works perfectly.
With proper kernel support, in 2.6.x family i could auto throttle
the cpu from 600 to 1500 automatically.
The speedfreq daemon throttles the cpu up 100 mhz when cpu occupancy
reaches 80% and then checks
again, and goes on up to 1.5 Ghz.
On the throttling down side, it throttles the cpu down in 100
mhz steps when the cpu load goes under 20%.

Nvidia drivers works just fine, supports both
