[edit] Introduction

This is a reference for installing Gentoo Linux on the Toshiba Tecra 8200 laptop. Note that there are several editions of Tecra 8200; this article talks about Tecra but the differences should be minor.

In addition to these, the Tecra has an IDE DVD/CD-RW combo drive, and a 1.44" high-density floppy disk drive. The floppy and DVD drives share the modular expansion bay; therefore, only one can be used at a time. The expansion bay can be also used for secondary HDD or battery.

[edit] Installation

A Stage3 install of Gentoo 2006.1 was successful, with no installation issues. Kernel revision utilized is gentoo-sources/2.6.18-gentoo-r6

[edit] Wireless Configuration

The right driver to select in kernel is orinoco_cs module - enable:

  • CONFIG_PCMCIA (module "pcmcia")
  • CONFIG_YENTA (module "yenta")
  • CONFIG_HERMES (module "hermes")
  • CONFIG_PCMCIA_HERMES (module "orinoco_cs")

[edit] Ethernet Congiguration

Kernel:

  • CONFIG_EEPRO_100 (module "eepro100")

[edit] Sounds

Kernel:

  • CONFIG_SND_YMFPCI (module "snd_ymfpci")
  • CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR (module "pcspkr")

[edit] USB

Kernel:

  • CONFIG_USB=m
  • CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
  • CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m (module "uhci_hcd")
  • CONFIG_USB_UHCI_STORAGE=m (module "usb_storage")
  • CONFIG_SCSI=y
  • CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=m (module "sd_mod")

Concerning USB, I tested only memory stick device. Other devices will probably require more settings.

[edit] IrDA

There is a SMSC Fast Infrared port in the computer, but it seems that module smsc_ircc2 is not enough for it. Sorry - I am still failing trying to make this working. go to the www.toshibadirect.com and download the drivers

[edit] Graphics & Xorg.conf

The graphics card is Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/XP
