If these key-combinations are special then I would expect the toshiba_acpi driver should probably handle them. However, the driver hasn't been loaded on your system, and since this model appears to be a few years old I suspect this is not just a case of adding a new device ID to the driver - there is probably some protocol difference. You could try running 'acpi_listen' (as root) and then pressing those keys to see whether it reports any events. However, I don't know whether acpi_listen will receive any events that are not recognised by the kernel. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings When in doubt, use brute force. - Ken Thompson
