Toshiba Satellite T130

Thanks for the solution, I was annoyed by the password prompt, but I found this:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=19236

basically you run “sudo visudo”, which is controlling rights to run sudo/gksu without password prompt, and add the following line AT THE END of the document (if it is not at the end, it will be overwritten by another line):

%USERNAME ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/backlight

you just need to change the username to yours (or the usergroup you're in (cdrom)) and this will allow the script “backlight” to be run without password.

I hope this helps! (sorry for my english, I'm from germany)

wifi It works with kernel 2.6.38-1 - for example current debian sid.

Status at 2 Mar 2011 with a T130 (version T130-170) on Ubuntu 10.10:

Wifi - works fine. Can't disable it with the fn key though

Brightness - the setpci method is the only thing I've found to work, you can set this to your keypresses if you are clever but I've not managed to integrate with the graphical thing.

Bluetooth - working.

Battery measure icon - kind of working, generally thinks it has an hour less than it does! Hibernates at the right time though which is the main thing.

I had to slightly modify the script (ubuntu 10.10), in order to make it work with my version of bc (i had upper-lower case troubles):

#!/bin/bash
# increase/decrease/set/get the backlight brightness (range 0-255) by 16
#
#get current brightness in hex and convert to decimal
var1=`setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B`
var1=`echo $var1 | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'`
var1d=$var1
case "$1" in
up)
#calculate new brightness
var2=`echo "ibase=16; obase=10; a=($var1d+F);if (a<FF) print a else print FF" | bc`
echo "$0: increasing brightness from 0x$var1 to 0x$var2"
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=$var2
;;
down)
#calculate new brightness
var2=`echo "ibase=16; obase=10; a=($var1d-F);if (a>01) print a else print 01" | bc`
echo "$0: decreasing brightness from 0x$var1 to 0x$var2"
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=$var2
;;
set)
#n.b. this does allow "set 0" i.e. backlight off
echo "$0: setting brightness to 0x$2"
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=$2
;;
get)
echo "$0: current brightness is 0x$var1"
;;
toggle)
if [ $var1d -eq 0 ] ; then
echo "toggling up"
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=FF
else
echo "toggling down"
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=0
fi
;;
*)
echo "usage: $0 {up|down|set <val>|get|toggle}"
;;
esac
exit 0

the instead of using xbindkeys i used ubuntu s graphical keys configurator.

I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 desktop version on my T130.

I cannot get the internal mic to work?

Help please

Hello,

I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 lynx, and wireless is ok without doinf anything, i think so thanks update :)

Unhopfully, i have trouble with bluetooth… If someone has an idea?

regards

For the sound the technic indicated here is not working for me, on ubuntu 10.04.

But for the wireless card:

download the driver from realtek :

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=48&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8192SE"

tar xzvf

if you like to using your wireless on battery, disable (#) all ”-DENABLE_LPS” occurence in each MAKEFILE

then

# sudo su

# make && make install

# gksudo gedit /etc/modules and add r8192se_pci at the end of the configuration file

Perfect !!!
i have light OK !!!
but sound is not working … the booth of sound withh casque …
and wifi but i didnt try …

If backlight control doesn't work with the 'XRANDR' option above, use this:

Open terminal and run:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
Search for 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX' (NOT 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT'!!)
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=“nomodeset acpi_backlight=vendor”

Safe the file, run 'sudo update-grub' and reboot.
