It probably does need to be fixed in the kernel. 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.
Hi
I'm not sure, if you are not ok with CC, please tell me
Thank you very much, acpi_listen didn't help, and module won't load in my computer:
insmod /lib/modules/3.1.0-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/toshiba_acpi.ko
insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/3.1.0-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/toshiba_acpi.ko': -1 No such device
But I discover keymaps udev rules, though there is not one for my laptop:
/lib/udev/keymaps/toshiba-satellite_a110
/lib/udev/keymaps/toshiba-satellite_m30x
/lib/udev/keymaps/toshiba-satellite_a100
Maybe I need to load a different keymap ... but I have to investigate how udev does that ...
Thank you again.
