This model's function keys and other toshiba models (such as the m45-s331, see page http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=223328) do not work. The LCD is shut down when the lid is closed, however the dimming using the function keys does not work. Attempts to load the toshiba_acpi module also do not work. I'm running a vanilla 2.6.16-rc1 kernel on fedora core 4, with the following kernel options: acpi=on pci=routeirq

The problem is that we do not have support for Phoenix Bios. The toshiba_acpi module is only for toshiba bios..
Hi, Daniel, Does the problem still exist in the latest kernel with a newer bios? can the toshiba_acpi driver be loaded? can you change the brightness level by manually writing to /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness?
Mr. Zhang, Due to this problem and other little integration and compatibility things that Linux could never address, I will be changing soon to a Mac. I do not have Linux installed anymore on my PC, however the last time I checked the problem was still there. I believe it had a kernel version 2.6.20 or 2.6.21.

Oh, bad news :( I'll reject this bug and mark it as unreproducible. Please reopen it if you want to try Linux again. :)
