Portege 3505 Tablet Laptop

I have a Portege 3505 Tablet Laptop.  Recently the hard drive went out.  I found a replacment and installed it.  Works fine.  Reloaded Windows XP Tablet Edition from original CDs and it works.  Found out I can't update it because Windows XP isn't supported any longer.
Is there any operating system I can install on this computer now?  I would love to be able to use Linux but don't know where to begin looking for an appropriate system for this computer.
I tried booting from a Ubuntu install disk, but it said it couldn't find the media which is probably a driver problem for the external CD drive.  I can't find a way to tell it to boot from a USB or I could install Ubuntu that way.  I don't think Ubuntu would have drivers for the tablet features, but it would be something up to date.
Any suggestions?

  • Portege m700 Tablet Extended Desktop Problem

    I've looked all over and can't find a good answer to this, so I figured I'd better check with the source!  I have a Toshiba Portege m700 tablet PC, which has an LCD monitor connected using the digital cable.
    I have the external monitor set as my primary, with the notebook monitor set as the secondary, providing extra desktop real estate to the right of the first monitor.
    The problem is that when I use the touchscreen, the mouse controls are only active on the primary monitor (the external one).  What I'd like to do is have the external monitor be primary, the notebook monitor be secondary, and be able to drag items to the notebook and use ink, or onenote, or other touchscreen apps on there.  I want the touchscreen to control ONLY the secondary (notebook) monitor.  Is this possible?
    It seems like there should be some way to just instruct the computer to map the touchscreen to the secondary monitor instead of always just mapping to the primary.
    However, if there is not, what I did experiment with is having the notebook as primary and the external as secondary, and then using some sort of multimonitor software to manage the taskbar and such to create the illusion of the external monitor being primary.  The problem here is that while the notebook is 1280 x 800 resolution, the external monitor is capable of 1280 x 1024, but when set as secondary will go no higher than 1280 x 800.  Is there a way to force the external monitor to run in 1280 x 1024 if I'm using it as the secondary?
     Is this something for which I need an updated graphics driver?  I tried to get a newer version of the Intel GMA, but it actually removed all extended desktop options for me, so I rolled it back.  The version it's running is 6.14.10.4837.
    Thank you in advance for anyone pointing me to any driver updates, configuration directions, or external software that can effectively manage all these options of extended desktop, screen resolution, and what monitor is assigned to touchscreen control!

    I've just tested the "Extended Desktop for Tablet PC" powertoy, and that doesn't solve this problem.  With the tablet set as the secondary monitor, when I move the window onto that screen, it just recurses the image over itself, which isn't really useful.
    No one has any other ideas about this?

  • Building wacom driver for tablet laptop

    Hi folks,
    Here's my problem: I am trying to build the latest wacom driver for my tablet laptop so I can use touch sensitivity in gimp and other applications. I seem to missing some libraries or some thing, this is the relevant part of ./configure:
    checking for valid Xorg SDK... "xf86Version.h missing"
    "Tried /usr/X11R6/lib/Server/include and WCM_XORGSDK/xc/include"
    ./configure: line 19566: cd: /usr/X11R6/lib/Server: No such file or directory
    and:
    *** WARNING:
    *** Unable to compile wacom_drv.{o,so} without XF86 build environment
    *** or Xorg SDK.
    *** wacom_drv.o will not be built
    What is the Xorg SDK (software development kit?) and does anyone know where I can get it? Will I have to build Xorg from source? I have done a search in pacman and on the website and can't seem to find anything.
    Note in other distros (ubuntu & gentoo) the package is called linuxwacom.
    Thanks in advance for an help!

    Then after the dependencies check and just after the "Starting build()..." I get this.
    /usr/bin/makepkg: line 599: build: command not found
    I searched the forum for the line 599 error and found a thread, but it didnt help much.
    But I did a namcap on PKGBUILD if that is to any use.
    PKGBUILD ("pkgname$_cfgname") E: Missing md5sums
    PKGBUILD ("pkgname$_cfgname") W: Missing Maintainer tag

  • Portege M400 Tablet Product Recovery DVD-ROM

    Where can I get a set of Product Recovery DVD-ROM discs for my Portege M400 Tablet please?

    Hi
    Usually you can order the recovery disk using this page:
    https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    But this page provides recovery disk only for the newer notebook series.
    Im not quite sure if you will be able to order the recovery disk because of the age of M400
    Anyway, the other possibility would be the ASP. You can get in contact with your authorized service partner and could ask for such disk
    In worst case you will need to use an own Windows disk and the Toshiba drivers are downloadable from driver page.

  • Toshiba Portege S100-S1133 Laptop - Intenet (Cable or Wireless) cuts off when phone rings

    Toshiba Portege S100-S1133 Laptop, Intel(R) Pentium(R) M, processor 1.73GHz 795MHz, 512 MB of RAM.  Internet (cable or wireless - COMCAST service) cuts off when the house phone (AT&T service) rings.  The HP Laptop in the house doesn't have this problem.  COMCAST can't fix the problem.

    The only way to fix the problem entirely is to not have any 2.4GHz cordless phones in the house. You can try to change the wireless channel on your router but it probably won't be far enough from the 2.4GHz phones to help. I assume when you say it shares internet you mean that your home computer is connected in the back with ethernet and that is why the internet stays up on it. Your MBP connects wirelessly so it disconnects when the phone is in use.
    Go to 192.168.1.1. Log in by leaving username blank and password is admin. [Follow these instructions|http://www.tutorial5.com/content/view/155/79> to change anything you need to (such as if you have unsecured wireless). Click wireless and under basic wireless settings you probably have channel 6 by default. Try channel 1. (Though you can also get into problems with wireless networks of neighbors interfering so download [Airport Radar|http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/networking_security/airportradar .html] and try to avoid channels that are nearby).
    As I said the only solution is not using 2.4GHz phones.

  • Portege 3500 Tablet Restore OS

    I need to restore the operating system to my Portege 3500 Tablet PC. I tried to install service pack 2 which just hung the system and now i cannot restore to an earlier date or install/uninstall anything of any use.
    I have the Product Recovery CD ROMs and a usb external Targus CD/DVD drive but i cannot boot to the CD in this drive by pressing the C on startup or F12.
    I notice in a response to another similar question that recovery must be from PCMCIA CD Rom drive. I dont have one and would be reluctant to buy one just to recover the OS.
    Can anyone advise please of any other way i can Recover my OS

    The floppy disk drive makes it possible to use the CD/DVD. You will need another computer to prepare the floppy.
    You will need IsoBuster http://www.isobuster.com/
    and WinImage http://www.winimage.com/
    or similar programs.
    1. Put the Recovery CD into another computer and run IsoBuster. Click on Bootable CD on the left and then on the right you should see an .img file of size 1.41MB on the right. On my CD it's called Arnes Boot Record.img. Right click on it and extract the file. Close IsoBuster
    2. Open WinImage and then File/Open this .img file. This will be your boot floppy with all the CD drivers you need. In Disk, ensure Use Floppy A: is ticked then Disk/Write Disk. Close WinImage
    3. Connect floppy and CD drives to your Portege, and boot up from the floppy. It will take some time to find the CD but it will and you will eventually get the recovery screen.
    That's it! If someone has no floppy drive but has an SD card then Toshiba's SD card program will put the .img file onto the SD card and you can then boot from there.
    Hope that helps.

  • Lenovo x201 tablet laptop Integrated Webcam not working

    I recently had to reinstall windows onto the Lenovo x201 tablet laptop and I can't get the integrated webcam to work on Google+. I tried downloading the integrated camera driver but during installation it stops about 3/4s of the way and the installation cancels. Not sure how to fix this , I checked under Device Manager and the camera driver is not listed under imaging devices. Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks.

    Hi
    Welcome to the community.
    As per our concern, I would suggest you to please re-install the camera driver from the below mentioned web link.
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_SG/downloads/default.page?#
    After that please perform the following steps.
    1. Press Fn+F6 to enable the camera.
    2. Click the Manage Settingsbutton. The Communications Utility window opens.
    3. In the Communications Utility window, configure the camera settings depending on your individual needs.

  • Lenovo X201 Series Tablet/Laptop

    Hi I recently bought a Lenovo X201 Series Laptop but the screen is cracked it has a touchscreen interface I would like to know can I replace the touchscreen with a 12.1inch LED or LCD Screen as I dont want to spend to much on a touch screen details of laptop is below
    Product ID: 2985DMG
    Specs:
    Corei7 CPU,500GB Hard Drive 4GB Ram 12.1inch Touch screen.

    Hi,
    there is a lot matrices are installed into x201t. Models also depend of the backlight type - LED or CCFL. I'm not sure whether any supported matrices models are compatible with your laptop. Also there are different LCD cable assembly and LCD rear cover assembly depending of the backlight type.
    To ensure what matrice you have and what's compatible check out on Lenovo' site parts list of your laptop by its [laptop] serial number. Support site doesn't answer a question by MTM only.
    I think it's impossible to fit non touch matrice into the tablet because of the different size (width). Compare the width of x201 and x201t.
    UPD
    Service parts DB says your laptop has 12.1-in. WXGA LCD panel, LED backlight (300-nit LCD), FRU 45N6092 or 45N5388.

  • Shopping for a tablet/laptop for running Hyperion

    Hi all, if you have $500~600 USD to spare and want to buy a tablet+keyboard to run Hyperion for both business and personal purposes, either working on a client's project or self-training, which tablet would you recommend to buy for installing the latest release of Hyperion? or even SAP?
    Please name the model and ideal specs.
    Thanks!
    Edited by: user7735252 on Jun 3, 2013 3:14 PM

    Why does it need to be a tablet? Installing and running on a tablet is going to be a challenge, might be worth considering a laptop/network and a cloud solution.

  • Portege M400 & Tablet Multi Dock

    Hi,
    Toshiba does not include Tablet Multi Dock into compatible devices for Portege M400 notebook. Did anybody try to pair these two devices? What are the results?

    Hi
    I have found info that you can use follow Docker with your Portege:
    PA3508U-1PRP
    PA3508E-1PRP
    PA3508A-1PRP
    PA3508C-1PRP
    PA3508Z-1PRP (Express Port Replicator)
    Obviously Tablet Multi Dock is not listed as supported. As far as I know this Tablet Multi Dock is pretty old thing (about three years and it was designed for Portege M200.

  • Flash Crashes Windows 7 Enterprise Dell Convertable Tablet / Laptop

    Greetings!
    I have recently recieved a new PC featuring Windows 7 enterprise. Flash refuses to work. I get what I like to call the cloudy screen of death, and IE/FireFox/Chrome simply close out. Does not matter what I do. I have tried installing several different types of Flash, and using both the 64 and 32 bit versions of IE explorer. Sometimes Flash movies begin to load before they crash and sometimes it simply takes browsing to a page with flash on it. I absolutely need flash as the company I work for (and gave me this new machine) uses flash in a large part of their Computer Based Training......... Any Ideas? This is the set up I am working with.
    Dell Latiitude XT2 Tablet
    WIndows 7 Enterprise 32 bit
    Intel Core 2 Duo U9600 at 1.6 Ghz x2
    2.00 GBs Ram
    Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family Video Card
    Thanks!

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm having the same problem.  Never seen anything like this.
    Running latest Flash (10.3.181.14) on Windows 7 Enterprise.  Dell Latitude XT2 (tablet PC).  Firefox 4.0.1, Chrome, IE, all give the same result.
    I'm having the same symptoms as cryetter -- the Flash movie will start to load.  Maybe for 1-2 sec it looks like it'll work.  Then the browser freezes for a minute and finally I get the warning that the plugin crashed.  I upgraded yesterday to the latest video driver from Dell's site, and everything worked for many Flash movies on YouTube.  Then this morning I restarted and am back to square one.
    Uninstalled/reinstalled Flash, yadda yadda, gone thru the whole thing countless times.
    Looking for any suggestions before I undertake a massive and painful reimage.  Thanks.

  • Portege M750 tablet, buttons and fingerprint functions not working in win7

    I have installed win7 64 bit ("fresh install" on my M750-129) and i have also downloaded and installed all the newest drivers from toshiba website.
    the device manager shows no problem / drivers needed, and trhings like HDD protection work well.
    However, i have four groups of problems i would love and appreciate to find answer:
    1) when i change the screen position to tablet, it does not change the orientation nor the resolution.
    There is no utility to set the desired orientations of screen as it was in vista (horribly unstable and slow OS, though).
    This, naturally, is diminishing the usefullness of the tablet finction
    2) the buttons do not work properly; the screen rotation button starts excel (!!) , the centre of mobility button starts word (!!), and the toshiba assistance button does not work at all
    3) fingerprints: the fingerprint utility lets me to screen my fingerprint, asks if it should save it, and than says "saving impossible; another duplicate pattern exists" which i completely do not understand what it means...
    4) some applications are not available at all after fresh install: face recognition, DVD player, bussines card screener - but i can love without those; 1-3 worries me much much more and i would appreciate any functional help. thanx on advance for any try!

    hi,
    helpful indeed - the installation of the tablet extension pack for vista , it helps to rotate when i switch for tablet even in win7 64 bit - thanxalot!
    as for buttons, the first left ones still launch ms word and ms excel....
    fingerprints: strangely enough, even if tghat was a clean installation, there were my old fingerprints (user "???") registered and it did not allow me to delete untill i found one little finger i did not register with viste BEFORE the CLEAN isnatallation with formatting the HD - is not that strange?
    however, the buttons i hope will be ok once the drivers will be updated by toshibq for win7 64 bit, the main issues were solved for me - thank you once again!

  • How can i calibrate my wacom tablet laptop without using linuxwacom?

    i recently installed the xf86-input-wacom driver, however, once i installed linuxwacom or linuxwacom-dev my system won't load X anymore.
    xf86-input-wacom is great, i have sensitivity and even the button on my stylus works.  there are still two problems, the eraser doesnt work and i don't know how to calibrate it for my tablet monitor.
    where can i learn how to do this without installing linuxwacom or linuxwacom-dev?
    ...i use the hppavilion tx 2000 tablet pc

    Note that you can get all current values, formatted into shell script form, like this:
    xsetwacom -s --get "Wacom PL550" all > setemall
    Then you have to remove everything you don't want to set (e.g. read-only parameters, and things that will always be right by default).
    I have an old Cintiq (actually a Hitachi StarBoard, which is just a rebadged Cintiq AFAICT) which I want to use under my main monitor.  By default when I move the stylus from the bottom of the Cintiq up to the top, the cursor starts on the Cintiq and then goes onto the main monitor, because it mapped the area of the Wacom tablet to the entire virtual desktop (some of which is not even reachable because my main monitor is wider than the Cintiq: 1920x1200 with 1024x768 "under" it means the virtual desktop will be 1920x1968.   Unfortunately there doesn't even seem to be a calibration utility so I had to do a lot of trial and error, fiddling with the X and Y ranges, to get the cursor confined to the Cintiq and pixel-accurate.  These settings worked for me, to fix that:
    xsetwacom --set "Wacom PL550" Screen_No 1
    xsetwacom --set "Wacom PL550" TwinView none
    xsetwacom --set "Wacom PL550" xyDefault 0
    xsetwacom --set "Wacom PL550" mmonitor 1
    xsetwacom set "Wacom PL550" "BottomY" "4600"
    xsetwacom set "Wacom PL550" "TopY" "2820"
    xsetwacom set "Wacom PL550" "BottomX" "3320"
    xsetwacom set "Wacom PL550" "TopX" "65"
    So far I'm using separate screens rather than TwinView, but will try it again and see how that goes.  I was thinking of confining my mouse to the main screen as well, because being able to mouse beyond the bottom edge breaks some gestures (like slamming into the lower-left or lower-right corner to open a KDE flyout panel), and I will probably use the Cintiq mainly for drawing programs.  But being able to mouse onto it is kindof useful too, and I can always just turn it off when I'm not using it.  And I'm not sure how to confine the mouse to one screen, e.g. in xorg.conf... one would think there would be a way, and maybe the same technique could confine the stylus to the Cintiq's area of the desktop as well?
    Which brings me to another problem: every time I turn it back on, it's re-detected by udev and then by X.  So I will need to run my setup script again when that happens.  Should be possible to get udev or hal to do it automatically somehow, maybe.
    Yet another problem is that if I hold down the right-click button on the stylus and simultaneously press the stylus against the screen, the cursor jumps back to my main monitor.  Pressing that button on the side of the stylus is itself like a right-click, so it's not necessary to "click" against the screen at the same time, but that's still annoying behavior, and inconsistent with some types of tablets where the stylus buttons are like modifiers, and you do still have to press against the screen to actually "click".
    It really rocks that X does such a good job detecting devices that come and go, though.  A few years ago, being able to turn it on after X was already running, and having it work, would have been unheard of.
