It's a Toshiba DynaBook V4/493PMHW with a Trident Cyberblade Ai (according to the Windows XP driver shipped with the laptop). It goes by DynaBook in Japan and by Satellite Pro in the rest of the world. Just stay away from Trident Cyberblade and the like. However, I'm quite happy because I managed to run all the hardware in Linux but I had to use kernel (at least) 2.4.19 with the ACPI patch and there is an accelerated driver for X (which I think is included now in version 4.3.0). BTW, I just tried the stretching option and I get the same result under DGA (no stretching at all). Oddly enough the text console *is* stretched and looks like crap, so I suppose there's no such thing as filtering, although it doesn't matter much. Of course I get the 3-4 pixel displacement as always. So next step will be to try to connect the laptop to a PROPER monitor through the CRT output and I want to check out also if it's possible to do it to a TV through the AV output. A TV is supposed to be fixed frequency, isn't it? Thanks to everyone.
