[Wylug-discuss] Linux Laptops

[Dan Walker]

I second that; I've a Toshiba Tecra A2 and all the devices were auto-detected 
on Breezy except the winmodem (which seems to be a secondary function of the 
soundcard). I've even had that working enough to send a test fax (slmodem or 
something), but it disabled the soundcard, probably because the modem is 
detected as a soundcard and ALSA was defaulting to it. I never was bothered 
enough to sort it out, but I'm sure it's possible.

My boss uses a Toshiba Portégé and that's all working too, although IIRC he 
had some issues getting 3D acceleration going.

The screen on my Tecra is perfectly usable, although not great.
