Hi, I have a Toshiba Portégé R200 notebook and I can confirm the bugs explained above. The module won't insert with the hotkeys options. I too can change the brightness just by echoing it in the lcd file and the screen will dim but the process will hang there, the console is not freed upon execution. These problems could be related.
If you need some testing you can find me on IRC, often. -- Update toshiba_acpi.c to version 0.19a https://launchpad.net/bugs/77026 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
