Toshiba 'fn' keys don't work after update to kernel from pacman

I updated my system, a toshiba NB505, which had working 'fn' keys. (screen brightness specifically)
I don't know if it's possible to go back in kernel releases, if they're deleted or such (I had previously thought that maybe the fallback was just the last working kernel, nope), or if this is a problem with something else.

yes. Try man pages as well.
You can also use xbindkeys to figure out the keybinding. For eg. for my wife's toshiba L505, when I clicked Alt + F2, xbindkeys returned a code of
Mod1 + Mod2 + F2
I think..or something like that. I will go home and check later tonight.

    Hi Jim,
    You're welcome
    Is the version of Windows 7 Ultimate you have installed 32bit or 64bit?
    Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers - do you see an existing entry for the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC listed here?
    There is an alternative IDT Audio driver you may wish to try on the following link.

    I was having this problem, seem to happen when waking computer, once finally connected network works great. 
    You need to edit your network preferences to order the network selection list.  Goto this support page  Using network locations (Mac OS X v10.6 and later) and edit your selection list. 
    I also created a "HOME" location and deleted all networks except wifi.  Put MB to sleep woke and safari worked great.  Still I re-ordered the networks under Automatic putting wifi at top, sequence is from top down.  Don't forget to click Apply.  Have fun

  • Macbook pro 13inch,mid2010 qwertyu keys don't work after upgrade os x Yosemite

    macbook pro 13inch,mid2010 qwertyu keys don't work after I upgrade os x 10.10 Yosemite. but it works on keyboard viewer. I'm not sure if it's hardware or software problem, how can I fix it?

    Hello there, kipolo.
    Great job using the Keyboard viewer to troubleshoot your issue so far. The following Knowledge Base article provides a great checklists of steps to pinpoint the issue a bit further:
    One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond - Apple Support
    Some keys don't work as expected
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Speech.
    Click the Text to Speech tab.
    If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
    Click the Accessibilty or Universal Access pane in System Preferences, then click the Keyboard tab.
    Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
    In the Accessibilty or Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
    If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
    If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
    Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
    Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
    Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
    From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
    If the keyboard is connected and detected by OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
    Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working.  If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly.  Use How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • My apps don't work after synching music files from my PC

    My apps don't work after synching music files from my PC through Itunes....though all the apps are shown in the Apps window in Itunes (The Apps match the iTunes account on the iPhone).....
    Disconnecting after the sync and After downloading any app from Appstore through Wi-Fi all my apps start working.....
    Please Help.....

    What happend is your phone forgot it was authorized to work with items associated with your apple id. If it happens again, download any free app to prompt the sign in, once you install the free app the others should work.

  • Control key no longer works after update.

    After updating Lion the control key no longer works. It beeps when pressing control and then a number key but nothing happens.
    This is left control key though. Right still works?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are four lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
    Some of the commands will line-wrap in your browser, but each one is really just a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|com\.vix|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk ' !/0x|apple|edu\.|org\./ { print $3 } '
    Step 4
    ls -1A {,/}Library/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Sta}* 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
    Remember, this is all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Satellite P200-RT1 - FN keys don't work after downgrade to XP

    Hi
    I have a Satellite P200-RT1, PSPBOC.
    I have downgraded my operating system from Vista to XP.
    Now I am having a driver issue, I have installed all of the drivers for my computer. I have installed all of the HotKey utilities for my computer as well and I still have an issue. Some of my FN Key functions don't work. The ESC to F5 Functions work but all of the functions above there do not.
    I am really looking for the Display Brightness and Dimmer keys F6&F7 to work, if possible I would also like the F9 key touch pad enable/disable key to work as well, which as of right now they don't.
    I was wondering if there is a driver that I am missing and if so which driver is it. I have taken my computer into three computer shops now and no one can figure this out. Please Help ME!
    Thanks Ken.

    Hello
    It seems that your notebook is a Canadian model and therefore you can download the drivers on the Toshiba Canada website:
    http://www.toshiba.ca
    The problem is that I cant find Windows XP drivers on this website. :(
    The only way I know is that you try the drivers and utilities from the European website. Normally the models are very similar and maybe it works. Its worth a try.
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    Try to download and install Toshiba Accessibility and Controls (Driver).

  • 5800 expressmusic functions don't work after updat...

    Hi!
    I bought my 5800 expressmusic, and was glad for it, until i updated it first time. After the first update all the shortcuts and functoins on the background didn't work. I could live with that, so I waited for the next update.
    Now i've updated it again, now the functions didn't work before, they work now, but now the musicplayer don't work probably. I can go into the musicplayer, but when i try to update the library and get the music from my SD card into the player like I used to do.. It only finds about 20 songs of 180 songs..
    Anybody now how I can solve this problem? 
    Thanks

    it's usually good to do a reset after an update;
    Soft reset (reformat). Type *#7370# and the phone's lock code (Nokia default lock code is 12345). Soft reset wipes the C drive.

  • Video list don't work after update to ios 6

    In iphone that lists come empty.
    I try made a new one but have same result. The list is empty.
    On itunes that lists are OK, complete fill in.

    Im on Vodafone South Africa, and ever since iOS6 I keep losing 3G connection. ALL my stuff runs off 3G contracts, which is costing me a fortune in SA, and now useless with iOS6. I've tried all the suggestions of settings resetting, APN resetting via unblock.nz, and still it's a nightmare.
    HOW DO I RESET MY STUFF TO iOS5 ?
    I use to LOVE my Aplle products, and now Im HATING them.

  • Keyboard volume keys don't work after waking from sleep

    This problem has existed for many months on my 2009 Mac Pro. I'm running 10.6.3. The problem is reproducible 100% of the time. I use external speakers. Sound output is set to "Line Out."
    1. Boot machine. External speakers work fine. Volume keys on keyboard (F11, F12) work correctly.
    2. Put machine to sleep.
    3. After waking from sleep, F11 and F12 no longer control the volume of the external speakers. The "pop" noise when hitting F11 and F12 is emitted from the internal speaker. The mute key (F10) does work for the external speakers, however.
    4. The keyboard volume controls become responsive again by switching the sound output from Line Out to another output option and then back to Line Out.
    This bug is a huge hassle. Does anyone have a solution?

    I have several mid-2009 8-core Mac Pro's, all running Snow Leopard, and all have been having this problem as well.
    I will not guarantee this is going to work for anyone else....but we have found a (slightly inelegant) workaround for it that has been working for several weeks now without fail.
    Prior to putting your MacPro to sleep, run the volume all the way up and leave it there. Afterwards, put it to sleep as usual. We use the keyboard to do this, but I would imagine any method should have the same affect. However, I've not experimented.
    Anyway...this has worked 100% of the time for us. The only downside of it is that you have to remember to run it up before....and then back down after waking (else that first alert sound or music file you play will really wake YOU up!)
    If this works for anyone else, let me know.
    Apple should never have let this one out the door with this bug. Especially, as Apple Support is....wanting, at best.

  • Transitions don't work after importing a project from Premiere to AE

    I've imported a project from Premiere CS3 to AE CS3 and all my transition (fade + wipes) are now solids and they don't work on timeline or on exports, but they still show in my sequence.
    How can I make AE use those transition again so I don't have to go through all project and keyframe transitions.
    Notice that I use Cineform and that those transition are Cineform's one; hope that doesn't cause the problem since AE uses CF too.
    Thnak you for your time and interest in my problem.

    Exactly the problem. AE is only to able to translate a few transitions, which include the normal cross-disolve, linear wipe, dip-to-color and a few others, but since those routines are hard-coded in the Premiere Pro Importer, they have no way f doing the same for third-party products. So more or less you will have to rebuild your stuff, either by using the proper transitions in PPro or in AE.
