im very sorry, i think i failed to mail my reply to the previous
message.
also huge thanks for the quick response and fix.
yes, the prototype driver does indeed fix the issue.

in my TOSHIBA SATELLITE L50-B, the fn key started working

fn+function key used to emit an actual function key press, now

what could be the reason i lost the old behavior?
Hi,
it seems that commit 23f1d8b47d12 ("platform/x86: toshiba_acpi: Add
quirk for buttons on Z830")
botched up the DMI quirk handling.
The global quick flag is tested in toshiba_acpi_enable_hotkeys(),
which is called by
toshiba_acpi_setup_keyboard() before the global quirk flag is
properly
initialized.
Can you compile kernel modules on your device? If yes, then i can
send
you a prototype version
of this driver which should fix this issue.
Thanks,
Armin Wolf
I attached a prototype version of the driver which should fix the
issue. You can build the module using
"make" and load the resulting kernel module using "sudo insmod
toshiba_acpi.ko" (remember to unload the
old driver first using "sudo modprobe -r toshiba_acpi").
Can you verify that the prototype driver indeed fixes the issue?
Thanks,
Armin Wolf
