OK back to square one, The lid close has stopped working while my laptop has been sitting doing nothing. Rebooted and now the lid close only works once then have to reboot to get it to work again. So back to the two original issues, The lid close is not recognised The hotkeys on the keyboard are not recognised On 5 October 2014 16:43, Malcolm wrote:

adding the following to GRUB fixes the lid close 'button' and the fan issues.

Hi Missed the lid close one, that can be controlled via /etc/systemd/logind.conf I set it to ignore;

HandleLidSwitch=ignore

Did it try to sleep while it was doing nothing? Each time you reboot, you get lid close to work once, and lid open to work once, and then you are forced to reboot is that right?

I missed part of the thread, refresh my memory, are you gnome or kde?

(I had problems with this very issue before, and I filed a bug report and it was fixed, but I can't remember what package I filed the bug report against. Grrrrrr.

Did it try to sleep while it was doing nothing? No it was on AC power playing music and sleep was not scheduled -- Paul Groves -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No it works once then if I do not reboot the lid close will not work again at all. I have to reboot for it to work again and so on...

I am using KDE

Anyone have any suggestions? This thread has gone quiet. -- Paul Groves -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have checked this out but it is as if the lid close button in not detected by the system. I have tried using xev and the Fn keys and lid do not show any input on this model laptop, or in fact on any Toshiba laptop I have been able to try so far. On my thinkpad, xev shows an event when I close the lid and press the Fn keys On 12 October 2014 14:43, Malcolm wrote:

Hi Have you looked at /etc/systemd/logind.conf to adjust the lid options here?

Paul, Take a look at: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887629 Basically, backwards compatibility for a number of Toshiba laptops was just "dropped" during the modular xorg changes, etc. It is very frustrating. I have the same issues on my Toshiba laptop, but the one that caused the most grief was the screen brightness function key. The bug contains a couple of suggested workarounds. I finally just wrote a script to handle writing directly to /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness. I suspect the other function keys could be handled in a similar manner. -- David C.
