My toshiba 5100 notebook has EDID problem when it was used with nvidia driver.
certain dirty workaround tip must be applied.
Even though it goes, it runs fine for 8776 driver with its twinview and GLX support features.
But the most fascinating feature among linuxer is eye-candy desktop - compiz or beryl. due to lack of GL command set in nvidia driver, using XGL is the only way to use those for nvidia users but it's too buggy and slow.
from the release of nvidia beta driver 9625, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap can be support in native nvidia driver level.
But in my toshiba 5100 laptop, all affort for using this turns to be failed.
from 9625 to 9629 (finally released as official version!), using those driver always cause the system hang while X was loading.
At last, 9631 version driver was released in 1 december 2006.
all nauty issues within nvidiia driver and toshiba laptop was resolved.
