As for the wireless driver, could you forward with more details about your laptop, like the spec sheet, perhaps? We'll need the model type for the laptop at least so we can find out the required specs (Toshiba releases various revisions of each model with different specs). You won't get 64-bit X11 support with hardware acceleration because neither nVidia or ATI has a working 64-bit driver due to vmem related reasons. -Garrett
