Especially when (assuming) it's about how to use Linux on a Toshiba, and
yet the poster is using Windoze?

Puh-leeze. Bugger off, moron. You're a troll, and not even a good one.

What about graphics performance on the ATI Xpress 200M? Have you been able
to get DRI working? Could you try to run the benchmark at
http://www.free3d.org/ ?

I put Slackware linux on a Satellite A135-S2246 and it works fine,
except for using a USB Mouse. I can't seem to override the Synaptics
Touchpad connection.

I've also been able to get a better 1280x800 resolution with the latest
Xorg.

The atheros wireless works fine with WPA2-PSK , read the README
for wpa_supplicant in /usr/doc/wpa_supplicant-0.5.7

Wireless comes up with (after applying madwifi kernel patch)
wpa_supplicant -w -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d

I have Ubuntu Edgy on my A135-S4427 & the Synaptics works fine.

Kernel is Ubuntu's 2.6.17-11 with a ton of modules loaded - only ones
I'm sure are mouse-related are psmouse & usbhid (for my USB wireless
Logitech). My Belkin USB mouse works too.

HTH.

You lack personal development.

The X server says the screen isn't DRI compatible. I'm using
kernel 2.6.21.1 and I've compiled in DRI and the ATI Radeon driver.
Anyway on battery power at 1.2 GHz, I get 660 fps.

Maybe it is because you have used vesa? Anyway, 660 fps is rather good for
software opengl on a laptop. I have gotten 816 fps with software OpenGL on
a Radeon 9250, but that was on a high end dual opteron. It would be more
fair to compare with other laptops and at http://www.free3d.org/ there is
a ATI Radeon Mobility M6 which gets 581 fps with hardware accelerated
OpenGL enabled.

Thanks for the tip. I may be having a problem, because my psmouse
is built into the kernel.

At least I know know that it should work. :-)

I'm just wondering: does your xorg.conf have this bit of code:

Section "DRI"
mode 0666
EndSection

It may make all the difference in the world. I get about 1800 fps on my
lenovo laptop with an intel mobile 945GM.

HTH.
