Currently we use the "toshiba_alt_keymap_dmi" list, but only 3 models have been added to it, Satellite M840, Qosmio X75-A and TECRA A50-A. I know that there are a lot more out there, but these are the ones that the driver currently know of... > > Why I am asking: > I'm since 26 years involved in technical support of Toshiba notebooks, a happy Linux-user also trying to help other Toshiba owners using Linux on Toshiba's. > In that scope I can see that some features (Hotkeys), probably provided by the toshiba_acpi-driver, does not work on every platform. > More in detail - mappings are not always correct. > It lies more in my personal interest than my profession to see this improved. Without propper documentation from Toshiba, we are left in the blind and only rely on what we (or other people, bug reports, etc.) know of, however, I made some progress on identifying the HCI call for the hotkey event type (patch comming soon), needed for some laptops supporting the "Special Functions", which happens to be those affected by the new keymap layout. If you are a Toshiba laptop owner and/or have access to more hardware than I do (currently 2 laptops, Qosmio X505 and Qosmio X75), I could use some testing ;-) > > BR Tom > Cheers Azael -- -- El mundo apesta y vosotros apestais tambien -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe platform-driver-x86" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
