Hi Emil,

it seems obvious you are the saviour of the Toshiba laptop and notebook owners. Your module works. Here are is the output of dmesg while modprobing the module first and afterwards removing it and then insmoding the module:

My concerns are about the Dropped keys. What are these? The brightness keys function correctly in both ways of loading the module. The other keys do not function at all, like muting the sound or hibernate and standby. Where should these be configured?

Thank you for this module as it is very important to adjust the brightness of the screen.
