Slackware for Toshiba Satellite
Hi,
I'm looking at getting a Toshiba Satellite C655-S5212. Some of the hardware it has are Toshiba SATA HD MK3275GSX Mobile Intel HD Graphics Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI-E NDIS 6.20 ethernet Realtek RTL8188CE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC It's supposed to use Phoneix BIOS. Any feedback on how well this hardware is supported by Slackware would be very helpful. In the past I recall seeing a webpage with supported hardware for Slackware but just don't seem to find it. Thanks in advance, Ash. |
I know for sure that Intel HD Graphics works fine (got that in a Dell Inspiron 1750), 'far as I know Atheros works and I'm pretty sure Realtek does, too. Probably want to install Slackware 13.37. If it's a 64-bit box, go for it -- what's the worst that can happen, eh?
Hope this helps some. |
Slackware for Toshiba Satellite
I just purchased a toshiba satellite laptop model L875-S7208 with Mobile Intel HD Graphics
After loading slackware 13.37 64 bit system, the video crashed while loading the system. I loaded the older slackware 13.1 64 bit system and the system could be loaded properly. I did have a similar problem with slackware 13.37 on a pc with nvidia graphics card when loading X11. With the Toshiba system I cannot even get to a login to correct any problems. |
You need to boot your slack with pure text mode, Nio fancy VGA or any higher resolution which might be offered initially. Pure text (Standard in the selection)
