Debian Linux suggestions for Satellite M60-135

Hello

I would like to have a Linux Debian functional system as a main OS on my M60-135.

So far, I have tried several Live CD and DVD:
-4 debian itself
-Knoppix to 5.2
-Kanotix 2006
-Sidux Chaos
-Ubuntu and Kubuntu (the two 6.10)
-Linux Mint 2.2

Also:
-Fedora Core 6
-Free Mandriva 2007

None of them work due to problems with the X server.
Obviously, the ATI graphics chip does not.
Setup continues correctly - even up to the sounds of the operating system startup - but the screen remains black.
So no way to enter the console, do not change the files or whatever.

Now my answer:
Anyone who manages to get a Debian system running on such a machine an if-HOW?
Please keep in mind that I am a newbie to Linux and I have for these reasons forward rather 'visible' explanations ;-)

By the way:
OpenSUSE 10.2 recognizes the graphics card properly and boots up to a visible screen.
What's different here?
However Suse is not my way of Linux...

Thanks for all the ideas!

Hello

the thing is that linux is not perfectly executed on EACH system, so if you want first linux then use a distribution that works out of the box.

Thus, it doesn´t matter which distribution you use, if you are a beginner then start with suse. It s distribution perfect to start and after some time of practice, you'll have more experience and you would be able to configure your system if something goes down.

It s just a matter of time what distro you use, but don t overload with dists as fedora, gentoo, or something else.

Try it with suse and make your way. :)

Welcome and good luck

  • Satellite M60-135: no function Sound Mixer level controls to "CD player".

    Hallo,

    On my Satellite M60-135 (Toshiba original Setup) Windows XP Sound Mixer shows a slider of level setting for the drive but it doesn t work.
    I can drag the level control or may mark the mute control for CD player, but it has no effect.

    I tried to disable digital playback in the device driver for the DVD-RAM device but it doesn't change anything on the level control.

    Is this a general problem of the Satellite M60, is a specific defect of my M60 or can it be fixed by updating all the drivers?

    Thank you for any suspicion.

    Wolfgang Nohl

    Hello, Wolfgang

    Believe me that this is not a problem or any kind of fault. As you know CD players used on desktop computers have audio out port. This level control Configurator will be used just for them. Portable CD or DVD player has this audio separated on the port and that this option cannot be used. The same situation is on my Tecra M1.

    In addition, it is a tool of Microsoft and Toshiba has no influence on it. As you know there is no OS designed only for laptops and this option is that it can not be used.

    Good luck and have lots of fun with your M60. It's a great unit!

  • Re: Question about RAM on Satellite M60-135

    Good evening

    SRY for my English in advance ;)

    I intend to increase the RAM of my M60-135 Satellite. On the home page, I found two corresponding modules.
    One is PA3411U-2M1G and the other is PA3411S-2M1G. The descriptions for the two modules are exactly the same (1024 MB (1 GB) memory PC2-) 4300 DDR2 (533 MHz).

    Can someone tell what is the difference between them?

    Thank you very much for your answers. :)

    Always it is that you should be able to use all modules of memory manufacturers of different modules that supports the specifications on the right;
    The Satellite M60-135 supports the DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200-PIN SODIMM memory modules.

    Hello

    I have the same opinion as Pappl. As far as I know, this unit comes with two different graphics cards. Look for information on this subject and buy the best. The display is great.

    I think it's the first Toshiba laptop with digital block. The speakers are very good and you will enjoy watching the DVD.

    Just one thing: this unit is shipped without Tools & Utilities CD and before you do something, it is recommended to make a. Please go to Toshiba Assist and under protection & Fix, you will find an option that allows you to create this CD which can be very useful if a problem occurs.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite M60-135: how to change disk properties DMA?

    So I would like to replace it.
    Think I fell on the drive Pioneer DVR-K16L of alternatives.

    These information are not known to me, and especially if you want to buy a car for you laptop, you must first call the Toshiba authorized service provider for more information on compatible players.

    There is also another possibility to find out what the laptop supports parameters.
    I use Nero burning rom and this application supports a diagnosis function. He entered the information about the installed CD/DVD drive.
    After this diagnostic procedure, you need to know more details about the installed drive and you must buy the player that supports the same specifications

  • Need drivers for Win7 for Satellite M60-159

    I installed the operating system Windows 7 (32 bit) to my Satellite M60 PC - 159 with success. But I could not find windows 7 drivers for my computer. If you help with driver problem, I'll be happy.

    Concerning

    This old notebook was designed for Windows XP Home edition and Toshiba doesn't support these old models of laptops for the new operating system.
    You can be happy if you will get hardware components of basic as audio, display, LAN, WLAN works properly but all the other stuff can be problematic.

    To be honest, you're wrong any problem with drivers. Problem is you are using wrong OS on this old laptop model.

    Let Win7 search of available drivers.

  • Satellite M60-135: How can I change the language of the OS?

    Hello!

    I have purchase an M60-135. But it's in Germany! So as you understand everithink it is written in the German language :) but
    I understand English! What can I do about it? {windows and all programs}!

    Thanks to recommend it!

    Well, it seems that you need an English restore CD.
    As far as I know it of not possible to install only one language pack or something like that.
    If you want to have an English operating system, you need to reinstall the entire system.
    In this case, you try to install the original engl. Windows operating system and then all Toshiba drivers or you contact the service partner Toshiba for a restoration CD.
