Notes
Please, see also this good report of a similar model : LaptopTestingTeam/ToshibaSatelliteA100-233
Function keys datasheet : http://209.167.114.38/support/TechSupport/TSBs/ALL/-TSB001343.htm
Flawlessly but with Live-CD, doesn't automatically shut-down after CD ejecting and enter key typing. (1)
Bad color-depth with "nv" driver. Need "nvidia" driver. (2)
With "nvidia" driver, edit xorg.conf and add "1280x800" resolution, all is OK then. (3)
Use "nvidia" driver. (4)
Bad autonomy consequences. (7)
Problem on resume : see issues. (8)
Use "mouse" driver by default so bad handling. You must edit xorg.conf to add a "synaptics" device. (9)
You must use "synaptics" driver to activate. (10)
Have an effect but switch your session off. (11)
Well, in fact it makes same keys that are locked when you use Num Lock assigned to directional functions : up, down, home, end... (12)
