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

This Toshiba BIOS has a reputation of being rotten, and I alas believe it's true. Best regards. ** Tags removed: bios-outdated-2.50 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971734 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.)
