Under Kernel 3.13 and 3.15.0-031500-generic the Toshiba hotkeys Fn+F6 and Fn+F7 to control screen brightness (Satellite L300) only work after manually suspending through the system tray drop down menu and then resuming. Note the Suspend Hotkey Fn+F3 only works after manually suspending and resuming at least once. Hotkeys are lost on the next reboot or cold boot.
As a workaround I usually manually suspend and resume immediately after each boot. In /usr/rc.local you can echo 3 or 4 to the graphics driver so your eyeballs don't fry from solar bright screen on boot ups. That workaround is documented in many Ubuntu forum threads. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1326161 Title: [Toshiba Satellite P70-A] Brightness Hotkey Doesn't Work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1326161/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
