## page was renamed from LaptopTestingTeam/ToshibaSatelliteM40-281
        
 * Contact: MatteoZandi
 * Brand: Toshiba
 * Model: Satellite M40-281 (2GHz Centrino, ATI X700 256MB)
 * Website: http://www.toshiba.com

Note that laptop has a non Toshiba BIOS (Phonenix) so toshiba_acpi will not work.

== Notes on Edgy ==
 * boot is much faster and the overall system is much better
 * I dropped s1bl, you can use tecra_acpi (http://www.gesal.org/tecra/) written for Toshiba Tecra S1 is fully compatible with M40-281, otherwise omnibook module (http://omnibook.sourceforge.net/doku.php) wich supports hp as well as toshiba notebooks. Omnibook module doesn't support hotkeys but it is compatible with gnome-power-manager, so with Feisty it will be possible to change the brightness with the brightness applet!! If you prefer using Fn keys check out tecra_acpi but it won't work out of the box.

== Notes on Dapper ==
 * No more firewire-related modules problem :) No need to blacklist drivers, wired and unwired network cards work out of the box
 * No more ipv6 issue
 * Fn keys don't work so you won't be able to change brigthness, but s1bl (http://tz.exit0.net/tecras1.html) doesn't work anymore.. it's a kernel 2.6.15 issue, compile 2.6.16 from kernel.org and it will work again

== Notes on Breezy ==
 * loading firewire-related modules (ieee1394, ohci1394, eth1394, sbp2 - I believe that's all, though there could be more) will cause the kernel to disable IRQ #11. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/ToshibaSatelliteM40-JM8. Prevent them from loading with
   * nano /etc/hotplug/blacklist and add these drivers: ieee1394 ohci1394 eth1394 sbp2
   * nano /etc/modules and remove sbp2
 * ipv6 caused me DNS not working
   * sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/aliases - comment alias net-pf-10 ipv6
   * in firefox, type 'about:config' and put ''''true'''' on network.dns.disableIPv6
 * Fn keys don't work so you won't be able to change brigthness, see http://tz.exit0.net/tecras1.html
