[Nouveau] GoForce 5500 Driver in Toshiba Portege G900

[Arseniy Nikolaev2]

Hello, community.

Several months ago Toshiba Inc. released a new communicator - "Toshiba Portege G900". All device's features are greate, but in practice things are going another way: communicator is really SLOW. Toshiba users have found that G900 is using nVidia GoForce 5500 Chip in it and it seems like it's working partially, because of an incomplete driver. We have written a petition to send to toshiba, and got more than 1200 signatures from Toshiba users. So when we sent it, we got this reply:

 

Thank you for purchasing Toshiba Portage G900. 
We regret to inform you that G900 partially supports the 
functions which GoForce provides, 
though we are aware that GoForce itself supports various 
functions as you mentioned. 
That is the G900 product specifications. 
We acknowldge your comment and would like to reflect it to 
our future product 
to enhance our product line-up. 

 

Sincerely Yours, 

 

Mobile Communications Company 
Toshiba Corporation

 

As you can see, it looks like Toshiba is not going to support us.

 

So, what this all is about:

As we know, you're producing drivers for nVidia video cards. We have the next questions:

1) Is it possible for you to produce a driver for GoForce 5500 Chip which will work on our device?

2) If it is, than can you do this?

3) What donations do you want we to make for you?



All Toshiba Portege G900 Users.
