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.

Regards,
