Go to Toshiba's website to ensure that you have the correct video chip
set, then use XF86Setup and when you get to the video chip set setup
section allow XF86Setup to probe.

I have set up two older Toshiba Satellite 420CDTs in this fashion with
Debian on one and Redhat on the other.  XF86Setup is the default X install
program for Debian.  For Redhat, XF86Setup is not the default X install
program, so set up X after installing Redhat without X.
