If you intend to use linux, someone (I think Christian Generat) has a utility which controls the brightness - though I haven't used it. > >As for instant on, I presume you mean save-to-disk ... the Toshibas indeed >do have this, you can set the power button to either turn off the libby or >to hibernate it on push, ditto with the closing and opening of the panel. >Both these are configured in the Toshiba utilities which you can also >download from the Toshiba website.

You can also control them through the bios (keep your finger on the esc key while the machine boots, hit f1 when prompted) though it's not immediately obvious - there are mutual interactions and menus that come and go depending on other suggestions. For example, you can make it save state to ram whenever the lid is closed, which gives instant restart when it's opened before the timeout period (several hours max) and restores from disk after that time, which takes a few seconds. Mine is set so the screen closed has no effect - so I can play mp3s with a slight power-saving, no screen lighting - and the off-switch saves to and from the hard drive. I wrote a long screed about all the options about three months ago. It should be on the archive, or Matthew Hanson may have saved a copy.
