Graphics in Suse 9.3 on G20 problem

Hey there,

Ive been running Suse 9.3 on my Qosmio G20 for almost a year now. When I installed initially, I had some problems with the graphics which has been solved by installing the appropriate nvidia linux drivers. Everything works fine UN until recently. The problem came back again. It seems that when you open windows program they sometimes give a strange effect making the screen sometimes almost unusable. Ive updated the drivers according to the instructions from nvidia through YAST, but the problem persists. The only thing I can think is that this problem started to occur when I've reconfigured the wallpaper to use some advanced graphics. Its all very strange and annoying at times. Someone has similar problems or solutions?

Hi Alistair

The problem is that Toshiba doesn't support Linux and there is also no driver Toshiba for Linux.
The Toshiba recommend always using graphics Toshiba drivers, because these drivers are specially designed for the use of the laptop and another graphic driver can damage the graphics chip due to overheating.
Graphic drivers of Toshiba control performance graphics and its use. In this case, the graph cannot produce a high level of heat.

  • G20 - problems with volume wheel

    My volume wheel does not work as it should, when I'm trying to turn down the volume, he jumps again. even when turning upward, it's the jump down. Put upwards or downwards to turn and turn and turn until it moves. If I fire the sound upward is like it is move 1 up, 1 down, 1 up, 1 down, 2 up, 1 down... and so on.
    Does anyone have a solution for this problem? It's like that in the Qosmio player and Windows.

    Truls

    Hi Truls

    It's very strange question. I too have the Qosmio G20, but have no problem like this.
    This problem occurs only if you use the wheel of volume on the right side or the same thing will happen if you change the volume using Volume control tool?

  • Graphic driver NVIDIA on my Satellite 5100 problem

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba S5100 201, which worked well and the very annoying problem with the Nvidia graphics driver. After a lot of research on the web, it seems that a solution to the problem was not found. If anyone has had better luck than me, please post a message.

    When you report the error to Microsoft an automatic answer States that there are no defects reported, so is no solution. I searched on the Toshiba site and they only have the original driver since 2002.

    There are many messages about graphics issues with my particular model and several other models of Toshiba but not a word of Toshiba or Nvidia on the subject. This problem means that I have to stop and restart several times, and often it packs just straight up without notice.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated - Toshiba and Nvidia are also included in this request.

    PS I tried a few drivers and am currently using GeForce 4 440

    [Edited by: admin]

    Hi John

    Usually, you should always use the graphics driver Toshiba because these drivers are designed for the use of the laptop. The NVIDIA graphics driver, you can use on the desktop.
    Well, I found on the download from Toshiba site an update of the display version 28.46 driver. I put t know if you tried, but please check.
    In addition you can also consult other Toshiba laptops with the same graphic card if there is a newer version of the graphics driver.

    But I m not 100% sure if it s graphic driver problem. Have you checked if the recovery procedure can solve this problem? If this isn't the case, then well, I think you should also check this possibility.

    Good bye

  • Start Qosmio G20 problem

    I have laptop Qosmio G20, I got error message that my WinXP lost some system files and did not start. I tried to start Windows XP again (I lost the rescue floppy), but my Installer hunged up after 1 minute.

    I tried several other bootable disks including Linux but failed. I suspect this problem in BIOS, I downloaded the BIOS from the Toshiba site, but I have not found all the files PDF with instruction how to create bootable CDs for update of the BIOS listed on the Toshiba site.

    Maybe the problem is in CD/DVD recorder.
    What other way to start my Qosmio G20, I have no USB floppy?

    What do you think of hard drive? Is also possible that you have problems with hard drive?

Hope someone from HP can help solve this problem. Thank you.

    Is anyone else having the same problem?

    ME-SERVO

    He worked on the fix:

    Re-installation of operating system was going to be my next step, but you have confirmed it.

    After redo the partitions correctly with the free version of Paragon Partition Manager 10.0 and re - install XP DVD provided with resettlement twit drivers DVD provided the problem has been resolved.
    See you soon!

    What I think happened was when I have crashed the Win 7 partition using the XP install process it did not correctly configured it.

    There is a small free space before the partition on which I have installed and the partition cannot be marked as Active. The MBR boot record must getting screwed up. He also scored this partition as number 5 for example: Partition 5 (do not know if it was the cause of many) but after I erase all partitions and repair installation of MBR disks worked.

    Advice to others when go back to Win XP:

    When you roll back to XP using a 3rd party Partition Manager (preferably the last one coz old onse do not work)

    Erase the entire hard drive including the HP_RECOVERY and HP_TOOLS partitions and create the partitions you need.

    I used the free version of Paragon Partition Manager 10.0.

  • Qosmio G20: Problems with tuner TV and Qosmio player on Linux

    Hello!

    I would like to install a Debian's Linux distribution based on my machine... But it looks like there could be some problems with a TV tuner and the qosmio player.
    Is there someone who could help me with a viable solution for this?

    Lasse

    Hello

    Well, you need a TV tuner driver, but the problem is the LINUX operating system.
    There is no drivers for Linux. Toshiba doesn't supports Linux. In addition, you will not find also all the drivers.
    All you can do is to use the Windows operating system. The Knoppix and Kanonix are very nice Linux distributions. You can run these Linux from the live CD. You n t need to install anything.

  • Shutdown on the Qosmio G20 problem

    Hello

    I have serious problems stop my laptop. Basically, the problem appeared about half a month ago.

    When I try to shut down my Qosmio, it no longer meets the shutdown command and it finally stops his car after 5 minutes while before the problem occurred first it stop almost immediately.

    I've seen similar problems like mine in the forum but still I can't seem to solve. For the past 2 weeks I've tried everything and I can't think of anything to fix.

    Your help will be vital

    Concerning
    Tony

    Hello

    This problem occurs if the laptop shuts down the unit, but still some processes run in the background of the operating system. In this case, the OS must much more long to stop down.

    In my opinion, you should check the background processes that are currently running.
    But the best way is to recover the OS because I'm sure that this issue will not occurs on the clean operating system.

  • Qosmio G20: Problems with mobile phone Bluetooth connection

    I am sure I posted this question a couple of days, but it seems to have disappeared. Anyway.

    I'm trying to connect my phone Nokia (N95) to my G20 via bluetooth, however every time I try to put in place the bluetooth software insists on trying to set up the phone as a modem. Now, I don't want it as a modem, just to connect while I can symchronise and save things, but I can't seem to find a way to set up the connection without the application process for the modem settings.

    If I have to configure the settings of the modem then it connects ok but fuck my internet connection to the site and if I disconnect the modem connection in IE my bluetooth connection disconnects as well.

    Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you very much

    The installation of the Nokia Suite program is normally pretty simple. You must put in place by the Nokia Suite itself and not with the Bluetooth stack. Make sure that Bluetooth is running. A look at some similar HowTo on the following Web site might be useful:

    Hi Barry,.

    I'd be inclined to return your laptop to an authorized Service Agent Toshiba. The OEM software should not require all the updated drivers at this early stage of his life, and the unit will be well within its warranty period.

    The closer your repairman details can be found on the Toshiba site.

  • Graphics problem - blue screen error

    Hello

    When I turn on my computer when it has been turned off for a long time, it comes up with a blue screen that says: "your graphics card has got stuck in an infinite loop and your computer had to be closed to avoid damage.

  • The Qosmio X 500 graphics card problem?

    I have a Qosmio x 500 since end of December 2010, and sometimes it will suddenly stop responding, give a black screen, then come back. After that, I get an error message saying that the graphics card has had a problem, but has recovered.

    I am also getting a problem when I leave it running, close the lid and come back some time later - 1 or 2 hours - to find that it will not be "waken upward" when I open the cover and I have to unplug and remove the battery to kill power before I can then reboot? Pressing any button does nothing except to put the lights on the keyboard!

    My X 500 does look under warranty?

    Hello

    I think that the error message is created by the graphics driver.
    I had a similar problem in the past on my old laptop from another production.
    This laptop supports the Intel graphics chip and I could resolve this install another graphics card driver.

    I recommend you first the version of the BIOS installed on your 500 X.
    If the most recent BIOS is available, try to upgrade to the latest version.
    In many cases, the new BIOS might resolve a reactivation of the questions.

    Update the display driver could be interesting as well

    After that, you could check the functionality of the laptop if the questions would not solve, you could get in touch with a local technician to ASP and check the laptop under warranty conditions.

    Dude good luck
