|---|---|---|---|---|
| example | Example laptop | Hotkey/Yes | No/No | Example comment |
| federico-mena | IBM Thinkpad T41p | Fn-F7/Yes | No/No | |
| monreal | Lenovo N200 | Fn-F7/No | No/No | Tested on openSUSE 11.0. Fn-F7 == no reaction |
| jjongsma | Dell Vostro 1710 | Fn-F8/No | No/No | |
| mnemo | HP Pavilion dv6000-series (6525sc) | Fn-F4/No | No/No | Fn-F4 == no reaction |
| mpmiranda | Acer Aspire One (AOA 150-1570) | Fn-F5/No | No/No | Fn-F5 == no reaction |
| k001operator | Toshiba Satellite Pro L300D-SP5801 | Fn-F5/No | No/No | Fn-F5 == no reaction |
| Liblit | Lenovo ThinkPad X61 | Fn-F7/No | No/No | no video change, but “lshal -m” reports two events:
computer condition ButtonPressed = display_switch computer_logicaldev_input_3 condition ButtonPressed = switch-videomode |
| hfiguiere | Thinkpad X60 | Fn-F7/No | No/No | Fn-F7 never did anything on openSUSE 11, just plugging the screen did |
| hfiguiere | Thinkpad Z60t | Fn-F7 | No/No |
Need to test on openSUSE. Used to work on Ubuntu. |
| wjt | Toshiba Satellite A50 | Fn-F5/No | No/No | Pressing Fn-F7 makes the laptop's TFT blank and then unblank, but doesn't do anything useful. The external screen (which is working) is unaffected. |

| lanjoe | Toshiba Tecra M4-SP645 | Fn-F5/No, nvidia/toshiba's fault | Tablet PC/No | This computer used to freeze when I pressed the external output hotkey, at some point NVidia removed the freeze, but the output still does not work.
If I want to get video output working, I have to boot with my computer plugged to the projector, as not even the nvSettings utility is able to make it output video. I've been complaining about this for about 3 years on the nvnews forums, but NVidia hasn't yet found out what is wrong with toshiba laptops. The message shown by lshl -m is: computer_logicaldev_input_2 condition ButtonPressed = switch-videomode. About the Tablet-PC functionality: No event is generated when I flip the screen to slate position in GNU/Linux; lshl -m shows nothing. However, FreeBSD's Toshiba Hotkey kernel module (acpi_toshiba.ko) does detect some kind of unknown event -- it senses it, but doesn't know what to do about it. Currently, I rotate the desktop using a script (link), which also rotates the pen controls. |

About the rotation: fglrx (ATI Radeon HD 3200) doesn't support Screen Rotation :( according to: [1] and [2] |
