- I have a Toshiba portege. Since some time I try to enable the backlit function but without success. I found several posts that should solve it, for example: Backlight can't be turn on in Acer Aspire 4736. But it didn't work for me (although now I can set the screen brightness!). I have LTS 12.04. My /etc/rc.local is here: setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.b.
- The monitor backlight on my Toshiba Portege keeps going out. Can I fix this myself via the keyboard or is it - Answered by a verified Tech Support Specialist We use cookies to give you the best possible experience on our website.

Installation and configuration
CPU & Graphics
Works perfectly out of the box with the typical installation. More information: Intel & Microcode
Touchpad
Works fully with 3.17+ kernel.
Bluetooth
Toshiba Satellite Keyboard Not Working
toshiba_bluetooth kernel module is auto-loaded but is not necessary and, in fact, it is counter-productive, since as soon as you disable bluetooth (e.g. with rfkill), it seems to attempt to re-load the Intel bluetooth firmware every few seconds. Just blacklist the module. Create /etc/modprobe.d/toshiba-blacklist.conf with:
Wifi
linux-firmware is needed for the correct working of wifi.
Smart Card Reader
Works perfectly with ccid & opensc .
Display Backlight Control
Control with the Fn buttons works correctly in 3.17 and 3.18 kernel. However, in 3.19 kernel, a minimum configuration is needed because toshiba_acpi kernel module add some non-necessary backlight control. For controlling with Fn, create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/80-backlight.conf with
Keyboard Backlight control
Toshiba Laptop Keyboard Troubleshooting
The backlight works correctly if it is configured on BIOS. toshiba_acpi kernel module add support for configuring the backlit of the keyboard. However, Fn-Z does not work. The modules can be changed in /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/TOS6208:00/kbd_backlight_mode with the modes: 2,8,16.
Fingerprint reader
The last version of fprintd has support for it. However, the image usually is wrong (lengthened) and needs two, three or more tries to obtain verifications.
