I had a lot of trouble with a friend's Acer notebook yes, the c&t chipset (IIRC 65550) works very well in my thoshiba 210cs, too. i only had some little trouble with setting up my x (the reason was missing doc´s), but playing arround with the options in xf86setup solve this (i´m thinking the problems depend on the dstn-display) }-> I'm pretty happy with Linux on my Toshiba, in short.
