Christopher,

Thanks for the followup. However I've been running the "new" 2.50 BIOS
on this machine since it was released (06/26/2012), and it unfortunately
did not fix the issue. No change

I however also have quit using Ubuntu on the machine, which now runs
Arch Linux, and I can report that the issue is exactly the same in Arch
as it used to be in Ubuntu.

This Toshiba BIOS has a reputation of being rotten, and I alas believe
it's true.

Best regards.

Title:
  [Toshiba L735-101] hotkeys don't work before system has been suspended
  in Precise.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  My Toshiba L735-101 has [Fn]}[some_key] hotkeys for a number of features, i.e.:
  - Sound volume +/- / Mute
  - Suspend to RAM, hibernate
  - Backlight brightness +/-
  - Wi-Fi On-Off
  - Numlock
  - Touchpad on/off 
  - Etc...

  I've noticed something quite weird : Right after bootup, most of these
  hotkeys don't work at all - except for sound volume and NumLock that
  work.

  But once after I have suspended to RAM then resumed the system, all
  hotkeys work OK.

  This is perfectly reproductible, everytime.

  (I have another issue : the screen brightess keys to display a
  brightness popup with a "level bar" that reacts, but besides this it
  has no effect on the actual screen brightness, but I will file a
  separate bug report for this one.)
