[gentoo-laptop] Toshiba Satellite A70 Question

Hi there,
I know there is a few of you with a Toshiba A70, and
I was wondering if you have gotten yours to reboot properly?
I have discovered that if you enable legacy USB support
in the BIOS, the touchpad will not work, but a reboot no longer
hangs your system when it would display the BIOS info. (pic).
If anyone has figured out a way around this, please let me know.
Ian

PS> If you do have this notebook, I also ask if you have gotten
the side media buttons to function, or if you have gotten the
suspend to RAM working. Please let me know even if you haven't
so I know someone has read this. :)

I don't have a Toshie A70, but a Toshie P20. I don't have the same
problems you have with rebooting, but I have read that someone has
recently gotten the media buttons to work correctly. Have a look at:

And yes... someone has read this.

Nice! I installed the program, but only one of the media keys works, not
all 5.
I wonder if this is a simple tweak to the perl script, but I dont know
perl at
all and would really like it if someone from here could help me.

Thanks again for the link! Its a great start!!!
