Nice work...

Hello,

  I recently acquired a Toshiba L655 laptop, fairly new stuff (both
network card drivers have yet to be merged into the mainline kernel). I
had issues getting Fedora installed, it had massive kernel panics
related to ACPI, but installed with acpi=off. Doing so removed some
advanced features, like power management and cpu frequency scaling.
However, after a BIOS update, acpi now works and I've been having a good
time playing around. The reason for this email is as a thank you to all
those who played a part in the 'polishing' work that goes into making
something like Fedora work well on a laptop. All the function keys work,
I don't know how it knows which key should do what, but pressing Fn+3/4
adjusts the volume, just like in the original OS this thing had
installed, the kill switch Fn+F8 works, Brightness, suspend, special
buttons that lock the mousepad etc etc etc... Its really nice to get the
operating installed, and not have to do anything manually to get this
kind of stuff working. So pat on the back to those involved in the
polishing, little nit picky details like these.

Thanks,
Gnat
