Mainly everything works out of the box
except the softmodem and the SD/MMC Memory Card Reader

The Wlan Module is recocnized by yast and easy to configure.
also the 1280x800 wxga screen resolution is correctly recocnized and the proprietary NVidia driver is loaded from the webpage and installed correctly.

Issues:
if you want to use hibernate / suspend to disk, you have to use the 3d disabled opensource driver nv instead of nvidia

also there is a keyboard glitch, witch repeats a button about 3 seconds if you push the touchpad and the keyboard simultaniuosly, the workaround:
use the kernel parameter: psmouse.rate=40

For the hotkeys and multimedia keys there is a special program called fnfx, that is only for toshiba special buttons, you can find it in: http://fnfx.sf.net
