Tecra A7-117 T2300------hardware compatibility with Linux SuSE or RedHat?

Hello world

I'm a linux newbie and I tried installing SuSE Linux 10.0.
But the graphics of the docking station and for the network adapter card is not recognized.

The graphics card is ATI Mobility Radeon X 1400 HyperMemory and the ATI driver is available
on the Web site. I guess that this ATI driver installation can be avoided...

The network adapter is Gigabit-Ethernet type.

Note = After browsing Internet, I read that a version of Xandros can work...

If someone managed by installing just SuSE Linux or RedHat on a laptop Tecra A7-117?
If successful, tell me what version?
Do you not think that it will be useful to try the "SuSE Linux 10.1" Live-DVD?

Thank you in advance.

Hello

I use a live Knoppix CD on my Satellite and it works properly.
Sorry, but I don t know about the compatibility of Suse on the Tecra A7.
Always is it that it is not very easy to install Linux distributions on laptops, because there is no drivers for Linux.
Especially the original drivers of manufacturing are needed to use the operating system on laptop computers.
To my knowledge, Toshiba doesn't supports Linux.

But I found a few sites Web from Toshiba for Linux:
Toshiba Europe site: http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de/main/

Toshiba US site: http://linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/linux/index.htm

Maybe you will find some tips on configuring

Good luck

    Go ahead and install the equipment.  If you're worried, see the web site of the manufacturer to ensure that you have the latest version of the driver there (it may be newer than the driver on the CD that came with the hardware).

    You won't see a lot of products these days with the Windows XP logo on them because Windows XP is no longer sold by Microsoft and the hardware vendors are focusing on Windows 7.

    The list of hardware compatibility XP (or what was her last name) seems to have disappeared from microsoft.com, but the following information of theversion of Windows 7 is basically the same as it was for XP:

    The "Compatible" green check icon means the manufacturer of the device or software that this product works with 64-bit or 32-bit Windows 7. Generally, you won't need to do anything to ensure compatibility, and you will see "no action is needed" below "Compatible" on the product details page. However, if a manufacturer or Publisher offers or requires additional software or a newer version, you will find a link to what you need and see the details to the right of the link. Please note that these products have not been "Compatible with Windows 7" Logo program compatibility testing In addition, consult the manufacturer or the site of the Publisher for more information.

    "Compatible - Windows 7 Logo" means that this product meets requirements for compatibility with 64-bit and 32-bit Windows 7 from Microsoft. To get the "Compatible with Windows 7" logo, software and hardware must pass tests installation, performance, reliability, and security of Microsoft designed so you can be sure that these products are compatible with Windows 7.

    Almost always, if the manufacturer says that its product is "compatible with" a version of Windows, it is safe to install.

  • L10-202: ACPI Module does not work with Linux SUSE 10

    I bought a Toshiba laptop L10-202 a few weeks ago and tried to install SUSE 10 on it. The installation went well but I have some problems with ACPI modules.
    I know that Toshiba recommends Windows XP but I have nowhere to ask for help because I could not find help on Linux forums. I should mention that I've recompiled the kernel because I considered that this was not necessarily.
    So far, the modules ACPI informs me on the temperature of the processor (57 degrees Celsius, the fan starts and at 52 degrees Celsius, it stops) and the only function that works is suspension on HARD drive. The battery level is not indicated because there is no file in/proc/acpi/battery/to read information on the battery. Except another ACPI hardware was detected by SUSE installation and works very well. I couldn't use the Toshiba_acpi module because this laptop has a Phoenix BIOS, but this isn't a big problem.

    You have an idea why ACPI does not work on SUSE and how could I solve the problem?

    Don't you think that there is no danger for the laptop to continue using SUSE, which limited the work of ACPI modules could cause damage to my laptop or it is safe to use SUSE?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Well well, in my own opinion it s desirable that all functions of the laptop should work properly. But I put t think he might of s for laptop computer continue to use the Suse10.
    I would recommend using the other Linux distribution. That use you the Knoppix. This Linux you can stat from a CD or DVD and it works like a normal Linux operating system and you can also use the Windows XP.

    Little info on ACPI:
    With ACPI, the operating system can turn off devices, such as CD-ROM drives, when they are not in use. Another example: ACPI will enable manufacturers to produce computers that automatically turns on as soon as you touch the keyboard

  • Dc7900: Hardware compatibility with HP DC7900

    Hello everyone.

    I have a question: I need to change the RAM and add a Video card in my PC Desktop DC7900.

    I already opened it, and saw that the RAM compatibility is as "with the hole in the middle of the RAM"

    So I guess it's DDR2 I have to buy.

    Do you think this RAM"PC Core 2 Duo 1 GB 240-pin DDR2 800 Mhz"is compatible with this desktop computer?

    Instead, for the video card, do you think this 512 MB nVidia MSI NVIDIA GeForce 310 Lenovo 57Y4397 VGA Display Port Low Profile (that is the shape of the SFF) video card is Compatible?

    I thank very you much in advance!

    You are the very welcome.

    I do not see where the form indicates that memory is non - ECC, unbuffered.  It must be non - ECC, unbuffered.

    The nVidia video card will probably work.

    But because I know that the pieces I used to walk, I can't tell you for sure 100% that those you want to buy is guarantedd at work.

  • Hardware compatibility with dv4-2049wm

    Hello

    I have a laptop dv4-2049wm and I plan to upgrade my laptop. May I ask if that are the highest CPU & GPU compatible with my laptop?

    Also, if I improve my laptop or not, it's the material that decrease the temperature of my laptop (even if I'm not in air-conditioned places, that room temperature), as the heat weighed or such?

    Thank you!

    Here is your service manual:

    Manual

    You can install up to an i5 2.53 ghz, and there are motherboards with integrated and discrete graphics. Your laptop is a special Wal-Mart. He needs a new motherboard and processor to do an upgrade of the AMD processor that is in it. Those who would cost well more that the laptop is when it is new, not to mention the cost of the work and the risk of damage caused by the upgrade. In most cases, you can't think in terms of upgrading a laptop other than the memory and hard drive. Graphics are not all stretch and a processor upgrade is like brain surgery, with all the costs, challenges and uncertainty of the outcome for the patient. Sell this laptop, and buy a new one and you will come out far in advance.

    With respect to heat, it is by for the course with an AMD laptop. There is no other available radiator and if you can hear your fan rotation works. You can try to blow compressed air vents, but most likely repair is to open and remove dust from the processor all about and install new thermal paste between the cpu and the heatsink. This service can be done by following the steps described in the manual above to get to the CPU. You can also try one of laptop coolers powered by sold to best buy, usb etc...

  • Is it possible to buy Tecra A8-104 only with Linux as main OS

  • Tecra R940 - 1 hr: what happens to work out of the box with Linux?

    I'm considering buying a laptop Tecra R940 - 1 hr.
    I'm going to use it with linux (ubuntu) system.

    What happens to work out of the box?
    Should I expect any problems with the display/network/wifi/sound?
    What about camera, usb 3.0 and bt?

    What is possible to work? Suspend? Function keys? Fingerprint reader? SD reader?

    What's not to work?

    I run Ubuntu Studio (12.04) on a Tecra A11-ST3504, and everything works perfectly.

    However, your computer probably has the latest UEFI instead of the BIOS, and this causes problems for some with start-up and installation.

    If the live system starts and runs, I'd go for it.

    I'll put the admins the trouble to make their usual warning: "of course, Linux is not supported by Toshiba."

    Enjoy!

  • Re: Function keys issue in Toshiba M50DA103 with Linux

    Hi all

    I bought this Toshiba M50DA103 to eventually eliminate the pre-installed Windows 8 and install my flavor of Linux on it instead. However, there is a problem annoying with the function keys, a problem that appeared after I installed Ubuntu Linux. The function keys appear to all foires (the key which is supposed to increase the brightness suspends the computer instead, and so on.)

    First of all, I thought that this could be a problem with Ubuntu only, but then I tried to boot Fedora, and the problem is always the same. That being said, it could be a matter of core, or a problem of hardware compatibility.

    Could you please give me some ideas on what I can do to fix it? In fact, I have discussed this matter with the Ubuntu forums guys, but could not reach a solution.

    Please help, if possible.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I tried to understand the situation of the hotkey and belive it works like this:

    The kernel has a certain driver, toshiba_acpi, who handles the events from the keyboard shortcut key.
    The driver is for a reason any confused about the layout of shortcut keys.
    I think that most of the distros uses the same driver for the kernel, so it won't do much good to exchange for another.

    You mention the unit suspended when it is supposed to reduce the brightness.
    This is how was the plu layout of Toshiba - FN + F3 = standby, hibernation = FN + F4.

    So what is happening is that the driver react the "old way".

    I reached out to the maintainer of the pilot to ask questions about how it works.
    Don't expect miracles or even any improvement at all.
    But if we are lucky, we can find the roommate of changes.

  • Workstation 8-Upgrade VM hardware compatibility?

    Salvation;

    I was wondering what the "normal" procedure, when you upgrade the workstation 7 to 8. It is expected that you would normally hold the VM "hardware compatibility at the old level 6-7', or it is expected that you would usually improve the old VM to version 8?" (At least presuming you don't have all the questions where you need to maintain compatibility with other VMware products...).

    I imagine that in both cases you normally install tools version 8. I have Windows 7, Windows XP and Linux Guests.

    Thank you;

  • Tecra R850-117 no WiFi after update Windows10

    I tried to update windows 10 TECRA R850-117.
    After update wifi is not found. Had to goback to win7

    Any suggestions what could be done for successful update to win10 with working wifi

    There is probably a WLan driver problem.
    I think you should check if the wireless card is properly recognized in device-> network cards Manager.

    In addition its recommended to uninstall the WLan driver in Device Manager and restart the laptop. Usually Win 10 is expected to begin the search for compatible driver... If this is not the case, you can manually search driver update (also in Device Manager)

    Of course, the laptop must be connected to the internet using LAN

  • where to find and use the (HCL) hardware compatibility list for Windows xp3

    Original title: where to find and use the Windows (HCL) hardware compatibility list

    HCL for Windows xp3

    That does not "response" from MS Support Engineer Umesh was particularly useless.

    Unfortunately for you, the HCL XP (or Windows Catalog or Windows Marketplace or whatever it is renamed) no longer exists.  I guess Microsoft is not particularly interested in letting you know what the material is compatible with an operating system that is no longer, it sells and supports only.

    The trail begins here: "the latest Windows XP Hardware Compatibility List" (314062 KB) that leads to theWindows 7 Compatibility Center.  KB 314062 is also linked to the http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/ which used to have a list of compatible with XP hardware and software, but now redirects to the Microsoft store, another dead end that XP is concerned.

    If you really want to dig, your best bet is probably used the Wayback Machine (archive.org) looking for old copies of

    http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx - but a lot of links are broken or "not supported" unless you use Internet Explorer 6 (the message claims 6 'or more' but 8 does not work).

    Hello

    The fact of vSphere SDK Web Service THAT works with linux machines. Can start/stop/copy data in / copy data to / run programs etc. on Linux of vSphere SDK Web machines?

    Rizwan

    VIX can be installed on Linux and Windows, please take a look at the VIX documentation for more details. What do you mean 'manage' the Linux machines, if you are referring to the actual VM shell management, yes it can manage the configuration or the addition of hardware virtual/etc, but it is independent of the type guestOS. If you are familiar with the vSphere Client, all that you can do this, you can automate through the vSphere API. If you want to perform specific things within the guestOS, then VIX allows you to do and the functionality is exactly the same as if you join the guestOS itself. This means that if you want to run the command "uptime" on a UNIX/linux system, you can do this with the VIX API, again I recommend that you take a look at the documentation for details.
