    Hello all,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4064 running Kubuntu 12.10. Nearly everything works well without any problems except for the following:

    1.) The Fn key with any action (volume, etc...) does not do anything. The manual volume slider on the front of the laptop works nice but I think that the Fn key does not register at all.
    2.) Adjusting the screen brightness has no effect.
    3.) None of the media buttons on the left do anything. It's unfortunate as they take up a decent amount of keyboard room.

    I'm thinking that both of these are because there aren't any Linux Toshiba drivers. Does anyone know of any solutions for the above?
