# Toshiba Tecra 8200

## INSTALL in a toshiba tecra 8200

Install goes pretty smooth and error-free. All my recommendations are provided to make your install process easier. If you do not need them, or find ways to make a certain process easier or better, please edit this document.

## Audio

Use the ALSA module: snd-ymfpci

## Video

Use xorg.

In `Xorg.conf`, these parameters work.

    Section "InputDevice"
    	Identifier  "Mouse0"
    	Driver      "mouse"
    	Option	    "Protocol" "PS/2"
    	Option	    "Emulate3Buttons"
    	Option	    "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    	Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    EndSection
    Section "Monitor"
    	Identifier   "lcdhard"
    	HorizSync    31.5 - 48.5
    	VertRefresh  55.0 - 90.0
    EndSection
    Section "Device"
    	Identifier  "tridentXP"
    	Driver      "trident"
    	ChipSet     "bladeXP"
    	Card        "trident bladeXP"
    EndSection

don't forget to install the window manager of your choice. it could be xfce or gnome or kde. and to pacman the trident driver

## Network

- Wired

in `/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf`

    alias eth0 eepro100

and in `rc.conf`, configure your network as you want. in my case eth0 is like

    eth0="192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
    gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
    ROUTES=(gateway)

- Wireless

if i follow other persons, it would be run with orinoco_cs. you must install pcmcia_cs and wirelesstools

## Modem

The modem appears to be working. The drivers for the modem are no longer available from the official source. You can find a collection of them here from an unofficial source.

## Some tweaking

Install the HWD package. This is a nice hardware detection script. This is in the extra repo.

    pacman -S hwd

comment or remove in rc.sysinit the last line, it's a screensaver but usually, you have another one

    /usr/bin/setterm -blank 15

- permit to the user to halt or reboot the system

- using nano to change the config file, it's very simple to use but to prevent the problem of wraping add in `/etc/nanorc`

    set nowrap

- time

to synchronise your time use ntpclient. install the npt package, then when you want update time

    ntpdate pool.ntp.org
