Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-29x which I have just upgraded to opensuse 13.1 from Windows 7. I am experiencing a few issues which as far as I can tell may possibly be ACPI related but I am no expert.
John,
Sleep works fine when I select Kickoff > Leave > Sleep and resume works
fine too. I have 4GB RAM and 8GB Swap. (Generally I do this when disk space
is not an issue so I can upgrade RAM later).
It is as if the lid close 'button' is not detected (Same as the other
hardware level buttons hotkeys for brightness, mute button, screen button,
touchpad button.
Malcolm,
I have seen acpi_osi=Linux mentioned (didn't work) but I have not tried
your suggestion yet, I will give it a go when I get a chance.
I think that one of two things might be happening:
Firstly (Most likely) the BIOS sees the Linux Kernel and does not like it
so therefore ACPI features do not work (I have has this in the past with
SATA controllers etc..) Therefore telling GRUB tht the acpi_osi is windows
may work, I will post the results of this.
Secondly it may just be an acpi driver issue with this kernel (or something
similar)

The first issue is with the Fn + F1 etc hotkeys and the lid close action.
They do not work most of the time. The buttons are not even detected by opensuse. Although 1 in 10 boots (roughly) they decide to work perfectly fine (including the lid close).
My brightness settings etc work fine by changing them manually in the OS so this is just the keyboard hotkeys and lid close button. These have always worked fine in Windows.
The second issue is that unless the buttons are working the fan can sometimes be really loud.
When the buttons and lid are working then the fan is fine and runs just as it always has done in windows.
Apart from these issues opensuse 13.1 runs perfectly on this laptop. Can anyone help me with these issues? Hi Before there was fix for my HP ProBook 4440s I was running the following boot option: acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2012\" look on the web for different options, but above may help.
