  • toshiba video

    From Noah Sombrero@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 2 20:50:01 2022
    I installed deb 11.3 on my old toshiba satellite laptop (p25 s509),
    yes p4, 1.25 gb ram. It should work, and it does except that the
    display is offset to the top and the right. I have not found any
    reference on the web that shows how to adjust that, although there are
    some before xrandr when xorg.conf was still used, that might have done
    it. Since then, everything is supposed to be automatic and simply
    work. No workee.

    I suspect it is a video driver issue, but there doesn't seem to be a
    source for the NVIDIA® GeForce™ FX Go5200, not even from nvidia. I
    did find a good online source for the original toshiba laptop drivers
    but they are for win xp, nothing for linux.

    Is there some way to fix this? Am I asking in the right place?

    No, the support ML is debian-user@.
