I have Ubuntu 5.10 installed and functioning on a Toshiba M65-S9065.
I tried Ubuntu 4.10 with no luck, the install could not see my hard
drive. I also tried to install Fedora Core 4 with no luck as X would
not load and FC just hangs to the point that I need to do a hard
reboot. Solaris 10 x86 did not do any better and just to see I tried
RHEL4.0. Still no X, but I had a working system if I wanted my laptop
to be a server. Anyways, I downloaded Ubuntu 5.10 and it works great.
I have officially replaced my old HP laptop running windowz with a
nice new Toshiba, 1.7Ghz CPU, 512MB RAM, CDRW/DVDRW, 17 inch
wide screen 1400x900 display with wireless support running Breezy Badger!

It literally took all night to get everything to work, however,
it works. Here are a few words of advise.

- do not worry about wireless configuration at bootup, it will not work.
- install using the onboard NIC and after the system automatically
updates go to system->admin->Networking and configure your wireless
interface. Deactivate the eth0 device and reboot.

- when setting up X ctrl-alt-backspace is your friend, use it to go
back to the command line when the screen does not load.

Follow these steps as user root in the same order to setup X:
- get and run a program called 915resolution (search google for examples)
- run the following command to reconfigure your X system:
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
- I used the Frame Buffer device (i'm not gaming and I don't plan on
watching dvd's so this should be fine for me)

(update: I just watched the last samurai, only problem is the sound
goes away when I do full screen, however, Ogle allows for maximize
window to the entire screen minus the top and bottom icon/tool bars)

- run the command 'startx'

To have X start at system boot, simply echo the 915resolution command
with the full path into the following file /etc/init.d/res-fix

here is my configuration:
# echo "/full/path/to/915resolution 3c 1400 900" > /etc/init.d/res-fix

Change permissions for execute:
# chmod u+x /etc/init.d/res-fix

Link the program to all of your rc directories, before gdm starts
# for scriptdir in 1 2 3 4 5 6; do ln -s /etc/init.d/res-fix /etc/rc.$scriptdir.d/S12res-fix;done

(at this point I do not know of a different way to enable a service in ubuntu)

Test it by rebooting, and use caution with the hibernate functionality.
If all else fails, get back to a command line and do a fresh reboot.

For those that are interested here is my xorg.conf:
