LED Touch Buttons, Touchpad toggle not working in Toshiba Qosmio F60

Asked by Solomon Nadar

I am unable to toggle wireless on/off, mute/unmute, play/pause using LED keys on my Toshiba Qosmio F60. Currently I need to enable WiFi/Bluetooth from Windows for it to work. Fn+F8 toggle works as soft block/unblock only if I have already enabled WiFi under Windows. Any ideas as how this can be done? I have tried Ubuntu 13.04 as well. The only LED Touch button that works under Ubuntu is the Volume Up/Down button. Touchpad on/off toggle does not work with physical button or Fn+F9 either.

@actionparsnip Tried that now. No change. Except Volume Up/Down LED buttons no other buttons work. Just saw that these buttons are called Front operation panel in the Toshiba manual.

Xev does not show any events when I press those buttons :-( 'rfkill unblock all' also does not work when wireless has been disabled from under Windows 7. Under Windows C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TBS\TBSWireless.exe is the application which turns it on/off when the button is pressed.

@actionparsnip I think the solution what I am searching can be fulfilled by quickstart. Can you have a look at this link. http://quickstart.sourceforge.net/

It remember seeing PNP0C32 somewhere in Windows 7 as well.
