[Bug 971734] Re: [Toshiba L735-101] hotkeys don't work before system has been suspended in Precise.

 

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.)
