I'd say your favorite search engine. There are some "linux hardware"
istes and compatibility how-tos, although maybe not current. You can
forget the Toshiba forums,but there's a Toshiba-linux japanese forum
(in english) which might help you. The Toshiba website also has some
linux drivers, might give it a try.

Which driver are you using at the moment? Which X? Which graphics
card? Have you tried the driver(s) that come with debian? Other OSS
driver(s)? The proprietary one(s)?
> 3) Specific 2: what should I do to debug the blacked out resume? I wonder if it is a graphics driver issue so may be linked to #2 or even go away if I could get better fit between Squeeze and the graphics hardware perhaps.
Might be related to the motherboard?
Just guessing really..
HTH,
Nuno
