** Description changed: Toshiba satellite A660 backlight just never worked on ubuntu. Here is an outline of some of the LEDS in a toshiba http://i.imgur.com/l54s5CP.jpg When i press Fn+Z the ubuntu keyboard LED notification shows up, however nothing changes. so i navigated to /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:16:00.0/firmware_node/subsystem/devices/TOS1900:00/leds/toshiba::illumination/device/leds/toshiba::illumination found files brightness device max_brightness power subsystem trigger uevent when i changed the value in brightness from 0 to 1 LED 1, 2, and 3 in the above picture turns on, and led 1 turns off when touch bad is off. However there is no keyboard backlight.upon boot the backboard backlight works while posting and shutdown when grub loads. When i disable acpi the keyboard backlight works however ill lose other functionalities like brightness. Any way to fix it? There is also another directory. /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:16:00.0/firmware_node/subsystem/devices/TOS1900:00/leds/toshiba::illumination/device/leds/toshiba::illumination/subsystem/mmc0:: with files brightness device max_brightness power subsystem trigger uevent nothing happens when brightness value changes.
