Satellite U940-103 with Linux - Touchpad does not & poorly programmed FN keys

Hello

I bought a toshiba Satellite U940-103, and I installed ubuntu 13,10 dual boot with windows 8.1.

The problem is that the touchpad is not working and the fn are false (fn f2 key suspend the computer instead of the brightness control).

I tried to install linux different sistem (Mint cinnamon 15, 13.04 ubuntu, ubuntu 12.04.3) but they still have the same problem, even in the live cd.

I tried to ask the Italian Forum of ubuntu, but they have solutions do not work...

Thanks for the help
Yun

* PS.* sorry for my bad English. Is it normal that my laptop seems overheated and my battery life seems to be reduced when I use Linux?

Hello

Yes, you're right!
In the direct (stable mode without having to install), the touchpad does not work.

However, once installed, it will work.

In regards to shortcut keys, yes they are mapped correctly.
They are treated to the old-fashioned way (former Toshiba models had the mapping used by Linux on this model).
If you want help, file a bug report on bugs to Ubuntu system.

You can always change the brightness by using the GUI (Control Panel > brightness & Lock).

Fun with Ubuntu on your device!

  • Satellite X 200-219 - the touchpad does not work as it should

    Hi all

    I recently bought a 2nd hand Toshiba Satellite x 200-219. Had some problems with it that I have overcome now, except one... The touchpad does not work as it should. I think that the cable has been damaged at some point.

    So I'm wondering if I should use the same ribbon cable to connect the keyboard to the motherboard or can I get one of a different model of PC Toshiba laptop?

    I tried searching on the net for advice but have resulted in nothing so thought I would try the forums.

    Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Lee

    I think you can use the items to the satellite X 205 series since this seems to be the same series as X 200:
    Found some related parts the touchpad:
    Satellite X 205 / X 200 touchpad Board with cable: reference number: K000047950
    Satellite part number for the TOUCH PAD FFC X 205 / X 200: K000047980

    But why you n t come into contact with a Toshiba authorized service provider in your country and order the part necessary and compatible?

    Hello

    I guess that your laptop supports ELAN touchpad driver.
    I read in another thread that in the past, an update of the ELAN touchpad driver has caused a few problems and the touchpad is not working properly...

    That's why I recommend you to uninstall the driver for the touchpad MOMENTUM of the system.
    After that, restart the laptop and check if the touchpad would work again...

    In case the touch pad work, download the driver of the ELAN touchpad from the page of the Toshiba driver and install again.

    As you probably know Toshiba does not support Linux and does not offer Linux drivers.
    All about you Googling can find many Linux forums. Try to find useful information here. I mean you can exchange your experiences with other people who are fans of Linux and experts, so I assume that you can get help here.

  • Touchpad does not work on the Satellite A100

    Hello

    I bought a satellite A100 (PSAA9) and have a problem with my touchpad. For some reason, the keys do not respond sometimes and I have to press the Fn + Alt keys to solve the problem, and it works well. Later, he appears again and I didn't Kow why?

    The only thing I can say is whenever I press the key as alt Gr, the touchpad everything is blocked.

    In addition, when the keyboard is locked, my mouse is not working well (left click does not respond and do a right click does the same thing as a normal left click). Again, I press Fn + ALT and it's ok.

    Hope someone can help me please!

    Thanks in advance!

    HM, sounds like a very boring and weird problem. Have you tried to reinstall your system or at least a linux live CD to see if the problem still occurs if you start a different operating systems?

    If you didn t tried, then it would be useful. Maybe just a problem of software it s. But if so and the problem doesn´t want to go further, then you have a huge problem and your next step will be to put your machine to an authorized service partner. Why?

    Because if so, then you would have probably a hardware problem and you won´t be able to fix it yourself. The explanation is pretty simple and easy...
