Thanks!

I think I need to rephrase a bit.

How is the driver distinguishing which mapping to apply depending on which model it is running on?

Why I am asking:
I'm since 26 years involved in technical support of Toshiba notebooks, a happy Linux-user also trying to help other Toshiba owners using Linux on Toshiba's.
In that scope I can see that some features (Hotkeys), probably provided by the toshiba_acpi-driver, does not work on every platform.
More in detail - mappings are not always correct.
It lies more in my personal interest than my profession to see this improved.

Well, right now I'm taking care of the driver (adding features, cleaning, etc.), so I guess I'm the "maintainer" as of now ;-)

I have no problem, tho' I'm not sure if the mailing list is the right place for this.
Darren, any input here?

As per your ideas/suggestions, it will depend if it is feasible/possible.
I any case, just send me your ideas/suggestions, and we can try to work something out (again, if feasible/possible).
