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

The BIOS of my M60-135 (Phoenix) clearly provides no possibility to view or modify properties attached readers DMA.
Is it possible to Flash the BIOS to get the information?

The context of this question:
I installed Suse Linux 10.2, but YAST does not show any device in the IDE/DMA configuration.
To let readers turn at optimal speed and performance (especially the optical drive) I want to set DMA values.

Any suggestions?

No, I don't think so.

I m not Linux expert and, therefore, I put t know how to achieve this in the Linux environment, but under XP, you can check under

  • 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!

    Hello

    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.

  • 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!

  • How to change table properties

    Hi experts,

    How to change the properties of the cells.

    How to make the script below work.

    Could someone show me how

    var

    doc = app.documents,

    myStories = doc.story.everyItem () .getElements (),

    cStory, myTables, cText, CTable::open;

    While (cStory = myStories.pop ()) {}

    cText = cStory.texts [0];

    }

    Hi John,.

    As far as I know we can use 'chain of everyItem()' here with 2 conditions:

    1. There are at least 1 story in a doc

    2. There are at least 1 table in a doc

    so, this code should work:

    var cStoriesCheck = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().getElements().length;
    if (!cStoriesCheck ) exit();
    var cTablesCheck = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements().length;
    
    app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().texts.everyItem().fillColor = "Black"
    if (!cTablesCheck) exit();
    with ( cStories.tables.everyItem().cells.everyItem() ) {
         texts.everyItem().fillColor = mBlack;
         texts.everyItem().tabStops.everyItem().alignmentCharacter = ".";
         fillColor = "Paper";
         leftEdgeStrokeColor = "Paper";
         rightEdgeStrokeColor = "Paper";
         topEdgeStrokeColor = "Paper";
         bottomEdgeStrokeColor = "Paper";

  • 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!
    Blues

    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

  • M60 - 135, how do I turn on/off the keypad

    Hi all

    I received the new Toshiba M60-135 with the keypad integrated.
    After a few resets, this block is not active anymore.
    Currently, there is only the normal cursor function.
    How can I toggle it?
    There is no reference in the manual. Y at - it a shortcut?

    The feature is enabled in the BIOS.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    There's a shortcut with the Fn and F8 or F7 key (I don't remember exactly). Look at your keyboard to F7 or F8, there is a little icon as a Numblock and there you can en/disable it!

  • How to change the properties of the management object EventManager

    Hi all

    I try to send the Message of the newspaper on the vMA Server vCenter installed on

    an ESXi 4.0 with the script attached

    I used the "LogUserEvent" method and it works, I can create user log in vCenter Server.

    And now I try to change the properties of the managed object 'Event manager' to change the categories (not only information, but beware,...) of the newspaper

    I turn... and I need help!

    I found nothing on the VMware documentation.

    Thank you very much

    So, it looks like you want to record the information of the application within your guest and somehow that will send to your vCenter or ESX (i) host? Why not just log on to the virtual machine?

    If you want to search for some of the VM events or events in general, take a look at this script that gives you an example on how: provisionedVMReport.pl

    If you really want browser real newspapers either vCenter or ESX (i) host, take a look at the DiagnosticManager and this method will be useful:

    BrowseDiagnosticLog

  • Satellite M60-135 does support C - salt?

    Hello

    TEAC DVD player no longer works.
    So I would like to replace it.
    Think I fell on the drive Pioneer DVR-K16L of alternatives.

    But it is obviously set to "cable select".
    My M60-135 does support this, or do I have to choose another drive?

    Any suggestions welcome!

    THX!

    Hello

    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

  • Satellite M60 - cannot access the HARD disk but update the BIOS

    Hello

    I want to update the bios on a Satellite M60
    the problem is that I can't access either on my hard drive it still reboot

    So, first I want to try to update my Bios but as I can't work with windos XP I need to do it with a Dos command.

    is there any solution for this?

    Thank you very much

    and why you want to update the BIOS?

    Even if the BIOS is not updated, the laptop should work well and should start the Windows operating system.
    This means that the problem with your laptop is unrelated to the old version of the BIOS.

    Have you tried to check the HARD drive or to reinstall Win XP?

  • Satellite L30-134: how to change shared video memory?

    Hello

    I have a laptop L30-134 with 512 MB of ram and 64 MB of video memory shared.

    I can't change the virtual memory from 64 MB to 128 MB.
    I reed some messages in this forum but I have no option in the Panel as "FrameBuffer" and the bios hase no option for the video display adapter, I tried to install the latest ati driver but ich time I get an error is not configuration / compatibil card whit say out.

    How I change my card adapter video shared memory size?

    Thank you.
    PS: sory for my bad English... :)

    Hello

    Using the latest display driver (you can download it at toshiba), then you will have the option of frame buffer memory. The initially installed driver doesn't have this option. You will be able to use the memory of 128 MB for vga. If you put your L30 512 MB, you can use 256 MB of video memory. But I found no differences in the games between 128 MB and 256 MB.
