KToshiba lets you configure the Fn-F# combinations with the supported options to let you have a complete and fully customizable setup for your specific model, and lets you use those special multimedia keys found on the front panel (prev, next, play/pause,

    It also features a Grapical User Interface (UI) higly integrated with KDE a powerful Desktop Environment, and a configuration module available through the Control Center or directly from the application panel menu.

    All of these couln't be done without the work of Jonathan Buzzard and his Toshiba utilities.

    · Raise/Lower LCD Brightness
    · Control Wireless Antenna power (On/Off), and monitor switch status (On/Off)
    · MousePad enabling/disabling (via ksynaptics and synaptics driver, if available)

    · Control the Fan status (On/Off)

    · Control LCD Backlight (On/Off)
    · Control Bluetooth device (On, if available)
    · Control CPU Frequency Scaling via SpeedStep(r) (if available)
