Satellite A300 - Catalyst 10.3 running Linux driver support

Hello!

I'm surprised why Toshiba do not support the "ATI Catalyst 10.3 for Windows 7 drivers" for laptop, but "Drivers ATI catalyst 10.3 for Linux" I can install with all sellers (also Toshiba).
I think Toshiba marketing strategy is very bad because Windows 7 users need to use the old drivers ATI Catalyst obsolete (modified Toshiba) but Linux allows users new drivers without limits.
If Toshiba recommends Windows 7, then do not recommend drivers ATI for Windows 7, but Toshiba does not recommend Linux but the new ATI drivers allows users without limits.

Question: I have Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAGCE notebook with dual boot 1GN: windows 7 & Ubuntu, how does it feel my gpu, if Ubuntu I use 10.3 drivers, because with fall default Ubuntu proprietary drivers, but Windows 7 I use 8.6 modified toshiba drivers?

Thank you!

Hi mate

As far as I know, Toshiba does not support the Linux OS and you will not find the Linux drivers for Toshiba laptops.
This means that you can use and install everything on the laptop, but there is no guarantee that this operating system and drivers work correctly and does not affect the functionality of the laptop.

    Hello

    Have you tried to remove the sound from the device manager card, first of all?
    If this is not the case, to do this.
    Remove it, and then restart the laptop.
    After restarting again, windows should recognize the sound card and eventually he would ask for the driver.
    Then you could point to the new driver downloaded files and could complete the installation.

  • Satellite A300-1JH - Vista can run mode "compatibility"?

    Hello!

    I searched this forum to see if my problem has been already asked and answered, but I couldn't find any relevant information, so here it is:

    I have a Satellite A300-1JH (short name PSAGLE) and so far I've used with XP SP3 and everything worked perfectly. But now I installed Vista 64 bit and there are many features that does not work, because there are VERY few drivers available for the 64-bit version of Vista.

    The problems that I hate the most are: turn on/off the touchpad and making multimedia buttons don't work (they are turned on - I changed the setting of the del in the BIOS, however they do nothing).
    And another question: to install XP, I changed the hard drive in the BIOS of the AHCI (or *-something) to "compatibility and now I forgot and installed Vista on the compatible mode.»

    When I tried to change Vista in AHCI (or other) no longer works. What is the difference between the compatible mode and A mode * and has a negative influence on my computer if I use it in compatibility mode?

    I hope that you will answer :).
    Thank you!

    Hello

    Vista need to AHCI mode and there is nothing you can do about it. In addition, you cannot change.
    So, put it in the BIOS and reinstall Vista.
    I know you won't, but Vista must be installed again. I'm sorry.

  • Satellite A300 - need a new graphics card driver to play the game

    Hello.

    I have a little problem,
    I have the game of simulation of tractor and I'll start the following error message:

    Error: Not impossible not init 3D System.
    Shader 2.0 model is necessary
    Please install the latest video drivers.

    I install some drivers on my computer, that I found on the Toshiba site, but still you can't and don't know what to do with it.

    Could someone help me please?

    Hello

    The error is obvious; the game can not start and run due to the graphic driver.
    I guess that you will need the most recent version.

    I think you should check your graphics card chip and search on some 3rd party pages for the other version of the Toshiba driver page driver driver won't help you.

    Good bye

  • Can satellite A300 - 1 5 - I change HARD drive?

    Hi everyone;

    I have this laptop: [Toshiba Satallite A300 - 1 G 5 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 1055589]. It has the standard specification, no upgrade.

    I thought if it is possible to move the disk from its housing (which on the left side of the laptop) on the side right from your cell phone, because my model can have 2 separate HARD drive. This idea came to my mind because that the CPU (cooling module) is actually on the left side, but also the HDD. As everyone knows, CPU generate much of the heat from the laptop, so I thought that I can reduce the heat by moving the HARD disk to the right (where its only contains the DVD player). A matter of fact, the left side of the laptop is always hotter than the right side.

    Yes, is there any body agree on that? The HARD drive fits on the right side? If so, can u people help me on how I can move the HARD drive on the right side?

    Thanks in advance...

    I think that means shipped such a HARD drive chassis:
    [Portable HARD drive chassis | http://supcontent.gateway.com/support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/2007/Tempest/Graphics/Tempest_HDD_BUMPERS_02.JPG]

    I recommend you check out it for yourself. Throw in the two slots in the HARD disk and then you should see the difference.
    HARD drive cover is normally set by one or two live only, so you can check it in a few minutes.

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - how to use HARD drive recovery files to install Vista again

    I've read the threads that already exist, until anyone there sprang key of course, however I don't see the answers to my questions, so I hope someone can help.

    Basically my A300 has been regularly overheating and turning off, and after a recent instance of this, I left it disassembled and cleaned the radiator and the surround carefully.

    Unfortunately, reassembly, it became clear that Windows would not start, probably due to some problem caused by the most recent power cut or maybe even within my very careful disassembly?

    In any case, Vista does not start, in all modes, either standard, in safe mode or in repair mode. As standard, it screens with a message of error UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME blue etc.

    Mode of repair, windows bar logo and green rises, but then it just black screens and no more. Slight variation only I had here, it's that sometimes a white cursor rises, but still a black screen. I left the machine 30 minutes where there was a simple delay, but not... nothing happens, it just hangs.

    I have no CD of restoration, because I did not create one, but I was able to access all the files via the platform of Knoppix, and everything seems in order, so important HARD drive corruption seems unlikely.

    I see records to get Toshiba HDD and also Windows RE, so my question to you people is as follows; Is it possible that I can use these files that are still in tact to get Vista without buying a disc for £ 30 from Toshiba?

    My concern is, I don't see why the supposed recovery integrated does not work given that the associated files still seem present and intact on the disk, and I'm reluctant to lose 30 pounds on something, if it is not guaranteed to work in all cases.

    What would you recommend I do?
    My files are backed up and whatever is left is not important... I just want to restore my Vista more quickly, more simple, the cheapest possible.

    Hey,.

    Unfortunately I think that there is nothing you can do because the files are unnecessary if disk HARD recovery doesn't work because you must be able to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu.

    I agree with you, it's not good recovery disc HARD Toshiba doesn't work for you, but you must also understand s your fault if you didn't create the recovery disk as mentioned in the user manual. ;)

    So either buy you a new recovery disk or you are using a Microsoft Windows disk to reinstall Windows. All drivers and tools that you can download on the page of Toshiba.

  • Satellite Pro 2100: black with Nvidia Linux driver

    Problem, is that the resolution is not start TI 1024 x 768

    I hear this same problem under windows.

    What I need is the right of xorg settings to get

    Thank you very much.

    brain

    I put t know a solution to the problem, but I can't believe that these problems appear under Windows. Some drivers for windows supports an extensible option and therefore this bar don t appear.
    But generally it s not able to install the original NVIDIA driver on Toshiba laptop under windows. Graphics drivers from the Toshiba page are not the same as the original graphics drivers from Nvidia or ATI page.

    I don't know about using the driver with Linux m but I found a piece of nice configuration info page:

  • Issue of satellite A300 Catalyst Control Centre - host application has stopped working

    At startup, and whenever I try to open the Catalyst Control Center, Windows displays the error message ' Catalyst Control Centre: host application has stopped working ".

    Has anyone else with similar problems.
    I tried to reinstall the drivers on the toshiba site, and install the new drivers on the ATI site and all I could think about. Given that the two pilots do not work im not able to exceed the resolution 1024 x 768.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    I googled for this error message and found many people having this problem.
    It s not related to the laptop, but for the driver
    Who knows why.

    In any case, in most cases the people solved this problem by the new driver Catalyst installation.
    You should do this;

    -upgrade your Vista to the last State
    -remove the old system catalyst
    remove/uninstall the graphics since the device manager driver
    -Restart the computer and reinstall the driver and catalyst

    Should work!
