Re: Debian on Toshiba

[Anthony Wilson <amwilson@iinet.net.au>]

Hmmm, are you using Debian 3.0r2 or testing (they're different)?

I run Debian stable on my Satellite A20.  The Trident CyberAlladin-P4
chipset used in this machine isn't supported by anything earlier than
XFree86 4.3.  This version is a lot more recent than that included in
Woody.

You will need XFree86 4.3 packages backported to Woody.  Unfortunately the apt
source I used for these packages seems to be unavailable now.  A search
on apt-get.org does yield several results, however:

http://www.apt-get.org/search.php?query=xfree86&arch%5B%5D=i386&arch%5B%5D=all

Once you have the packages installed, here's my XF86Config-4:
