This bug has nothing to do with acpi. > Fn+F5 VGA Output Switch (LCD->CRT->Both->None) A bug here. With the satellite 2455 the Fn+F5 for changing display mode already works *without* any acpi. When the toshiba_acpi module is loaded, it seems that they fight. This is the behaviour: 1=LCD 2=CRT 3=BOTH 4=NONE 5=LCD Fn+F5+F5: (pressing F5 twice): 1->3->5->1 Fn+F5: 1->4->2->5 (will not cycle) The behaviour without any acpi is: Fn+F5: 1->4->5->3->2->1 A boolean hw.acpi.toshiba.output_switch to turn the function off for toshiba models that do not need VGA Output Switch would be nice. > Fn+F6 LCD Brightness decrease > Fn+F7 LCD Brightness increase > Fn+F8 LCD Backlight on/off Above three work fine.

Excellent work! Would you happen to know if it is possible to disactivate the touchpad by using acpi and the Fn+F9? Thanks for the good work. Edscott Wilson Garcia BTW, I'm putting your patch at http://linux.imp.mx/toshiba so googlers can find it. > > -- > Hiroyuki Aizu > > ______________________________________________________________________ > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-mobile-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
