Hi Chuck ; It is hard to tell what to do without knowing the model you are using. You may want to try http://www.linux-laptop.net/ for more indepth info on howto get linux running on your toshiba.

During the install process, the graphics mode is correct (i.e. the screen looks great -- no problems). However, after it starts X, the display goes haywire. I tried another mode -- this time, the LCD display mode. Still no luck. How do I figure out what mode to use? For example, how do I figure out what mode Mandrake is using during the boot-up and boot-down process (during which time the graphics looks fine). How do I set the mode? Is there a way to test the mode, without committing to it? Can anyone point me to a troubleshooting page for xfree86? Thanks. - Chuck
