Summary: Function buttons on Toshiba laptop
Version: 9.1-0.1mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2

I don't know if this is a bug or a configuration issue, but I think it would be
nice if this worked out of the box...
Configuration: Toshiba 5205-S703 laptop
The acpi stuff works when the toshiba and toshiba_acpi modules are loaded.
In fact, it's working really well -- the battery monitor works correctly,
the SD card reader is detected (though I haven't tried to read and write to it
yet -- and this may not be an acpi issue), the screen brightness can be varied, etc.
However.... None of this maps to the function keys on the box. I have written
a bunch of little shell scripts to write to the appropriate /proc/acpi/toshiba/*
files when I want to change things, but it would be nice if the function keys
worked.
This may have a simple work-around -- I don't know how to play with the function
key mappings, and it is just as easy for me to run the scripts from a console
window. However, I'll assert without proof that it would be better if everybody
with a Toshiba laptop didn't have to write their own little scripts...
