I still own a Satellite Pro A10, model number PSA15E-03U7V-EN. I no longer use it day-to-day, as it's so very slow compared to my T61. I know exactly what HCI is, how it works, and have a good idea of what it can do. I've written patches for the toshiba_acpi driver before for the key mapping functionality. In the meantime, you've insulted me enough for one email thread. Len, I would agree with Matthew that the patch should not be merged, and that any missing functionality should be added to the existing ACPI driver.
