Update: 3/26/2007, Toshiba now has the RTM versions available
Update: 3/19/2007, Intel Display drivers are available... and THAT IS ALL... gee, thanks, I have an NVidia...
This is REALLY PATHETIC TOSHIBA!!! You have LOST a long time customer.
(Update: 12/5/06, the M7 Drivers were updated today, adding Bluetooth drivers...)
(Update: 12/9/06, the M7 Drivers were updated today, adding pretty much everything to make it complete)
If the link changes, I will try to update it so it stays current. If you notice it's wrong, please let me know.
Missing are:
nVidia Drivers, the RC2/96.85 drivers on the nVidia site are usable with a small hack though.
(There is a BIOS Upgrade for the NVidia helps with Hibernation)
Fingerprint Scanner Drivers
Bluetooth
Tablet Buttons
Audio Driver
HotKey for Display Devices
Results:
The Hibernate/Sleep mode problems are now gone... BIOS Updates fixed this
SD Works well, I read/wrote/formatted a 2G Patriot chip that fails in most machines
Toshiba Disc Creator, still has a known compatibility issue (and why do I really need this anyway... c'est la vie.)
I did not attempt the SD Boot, but it should function properly based on the other SD Tests
the Buttons actually work now but the mappings are off, for instance rotate now brings up Microsoft Snipping Tool, I don't recall ever setting the button to that, and there is no way to change them yet, I have not tried loading common drivers or other drivers from the M400 line so some might work.
Hibernation was a HUGE problem for me before... Now the one that is killing me is Rotation... On Bluetooth my phone needs it, but synching in general is not working well, so I don't really care (yet.)
Great Job Toshiba, we now have RC1 for everything, now we should get RTM versions soon.
