Network
OK: It's a Realtek-8139, so it works out of the box.
Kernel module: 8139too.
Sound
OK: It's an Intel 810. I use OSS and not ALSA.
Kernel module: i810_audio.
X11
OK: It's an Intel 810. I've needed to install XFree86 4.3 (4.2 only worked with the vesa driver). The system sees the touchpad as a PS/2 mouse.
X11 driver: i810.
3D acceleration
OK: 3D acceleration is provided by the i830 DRI kernel module. You need XFree86 4.3 (4.2 didn't work for me). Compile agpgart and i830 as modules.
Kernel modules: agpgart and i830 (2.4.x), agpgart, intel-agp and i830 (2.6.x).
DVD/RW
OK: The unit is a MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-811. Tested CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-R with cdrecord, cdrdao, dvdrecord and dvd+rw-tools, everything worked fine. One caveat; in Toshiba's web it's said the drive is 4x CD-RW and 10x HS CD-RW; don't know what the hell a 'HS CD-RW' is, but I couldn't write on 10x CD-RW media I own from my previous HP9500 8xCD-RW; I only could record on old 2x media.
I've used ide-scsi on Linux 2.4.x; tests with Linux 2.6.x and ATAPI worked also well except for dvdrecord.
USB
OK: Worked out of the box.
Kernel module: usb-uhci (2.4.x), uhci_hcd (2.6.x).
PCMCIA
OK: Worked out of the box.
Kernel module: yenta_socket.
ACPI
OK: The power button and the lid detector send correctly their events; the battery seems to inform correctly about its charge.
IRDA
OK: Neither the toshoboe nor the donauboe kernel drivers are needed; the IRDA port appears as the second serial port at /dev/ttyS1. You just need to run
irattach /dev/ttyS1 -s
Test it with irdadump and an IRDA device.
I've successfully used gammu to backup my Nokia 8210 and my wife's Nokia 8310 cellular phones, and minicom to connect to my cellular phone modem. Use the /dev/ircomm0 device for these purposes (NOT /dev/ttyS1).
Modem
OK: Vladimir Volcko informs me that the modem correctly works with version 2.7.10 of the slmdm drivers. I personally didn't try yet.
Funny CD / Web / i keys
NO: They don't seem to send keyboard events. Don't worry much, either.
Firewire
Don't know: Send me some Firewire hardware and I'll try.
