[tlinux-users 00407] Info about hotkeys in Toshiba A-300 015

[Eddy Ruiz Azcuy]

Hi everyone, I have a toshiba laptop model A-300 015 from toshiba Canada
and I have installed Ubuntu Linux 9.04,I have already looked for in the
repositories some program to get the Hotkeys to function, but only found
a couple of programs and come with the explanation that only works in
older models, the program is known as toshutils.

:Here is the message from the command apt-cache show toshutils 

<Explanation>

This is a collection of utilities to control a Toshiba laptop. It
includes programs to turn the fan on and off, to view the power mode,
and to set the supervisor password. 
 
 Note that these utilities work with APM features in the Toshiba BIOS.
If your laptop's BIOS only supports ACPI and not APM, then toshutils
will probably
 not work for you. Toshiba's newer models tend to support ACPI only, and
therefore toshutils will not work with them.  

</Explanation>


I would be extremely glad if someone help me throwing some light on
this,Thanks in advance.
