Hello everyone. I'm posting here as a last ditch effort. I'm having hellish problems with this laptop. Personally, I like the laptop itself, but.. There are several things that are just plain old bad. The lack of VT technology enablement in the BIOS is annoying. The chip supports it, all it has to do is be exposed via the BIOS. As a software engineer, I would love to be able to run 64 bit guests, but I cannot without this bit being toggled for the processor in BIOS. And the doozy. Linux support. I understand hacks, shortcuts, and things that are overlooked. But I'm really put off by the lack of Linux support in general. The ACPI provided by the BIOS is just plain non-standard. Having to hack the ACPI data manually is a horrible idea. Something as simple as Toshiba provided tables for the kernel to use would be wonderfully simple, and would solve most problems with this laptop. Has anyone found resolutions for the P105-9722 and Linux? So I actually have sound AND the GPU fan functioning? -- -- Thomas
