Mihail,
It would be great if you spell-check messages, it is really hard to read them.
bug #9663 says that to get Fn keys working, you need to remove _INI presence
check, thus allowing early init of EC from DSDT.
The patch from 9627 does the same, it inits EC before any other device, but you
claim that contrary to #9663 Fn keys are not working, while /sys interface
does.
hotkeys could be controlled by BIOS itself, thus if video driver (/sys
interface to brighness) is loaded, it will disable BIOS control of brightness.
To make Fn keys send events, you need some hw-specific driver, which in your
case must be toshiba.c, which gives following string in dmesg published in
9663:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
toshiba.c: toshiba.c: toshiba.c: toshiba.c: toshiba.c: toshiba.c: toshiba.c:
toshiba: not a supported Toshiba laptop
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So, my guess is that EC with patch from 9627 does its best to enable loading of
video driver and making /sys interface work. You may check that it is video.c
who disable BIOS and Fn keys by unloading it. You could try to find out what
needs to be done in toshiba.c in order for it to recognize your machine and
start accepting hotkeys -- contact the toshiba.c author for that...
I'm lowering the severity of this bug, as it is definitely not blocker.
