While I appreciate the link, it's not applicable to the model I
obtained (I think it was a 5205, but can't check right now for obvious
reasons). As I mentioned in my original mail, of the solutions
presented in the section on the keyboard, only the kernel patch
provided a usable keyboard, and at that it still wasn't perfect.
My major remaining issues with Toshiba stem from the fact that
they no longer have a firmware interface to the BIOS (you have to use
a MS Windows application to change things like boot order) and most of
the things you would want to tweak are completely inaccessible. Most
notably, the setting that used to be commonly labeled "PNP-OS" is now
hard locked to "on", which means that sound is completely broken due
to IRQ 0 conflicts until the kernel developers support this.
We're drifting fairly off-topic for XFree86 bugs, though, so if
you want to discuss laptop issues with me, please mail me privately.
