I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDT here and it has a genuine (or 100% 
compatible as the kernel calls it) SoundBlaster 16 card on the standard 
port 220, IRQ 5 DMA 1 (no 16 bit DMA channel though)

I had Linux installed on a 440CDX (passive screen and USB ports vs active 
on the 430CDT but no USB) ages ago and it's merely a SB emulator card - I 
think it was a Windows sound system compatible <shudder> on a Yamaha chip. 
Forgotten which, but definitely didn't work with the sb.o module, despite 
the manual saying the onboard sound is "soundblaster compatible". The 
laptop is dead now so I can't check.

I didn't install X on either laptop.
