Installation and configuration
CPU & Graphics
Works perfectly out of the box with the typical installation. More information: Intel & Microcode
Touchpad
Works fully with 3.17+ kernel.
Bluetooth
toshiba_bluetooth kernel module is auto-loaded but is not necessary and, in fact, it is counter-productive, since as soon as you disable bluetooth (e.g. with rfkill), it seems to attempt to re-load the Intel bluetooth firmware every few seconds. Just blacklist the module. Create /etc/modprobe.d/toshiba-blacklist.conf with:
Wifi
linux-firmware is needed for the correct working of wifi.

Toshiba Portege Keyboard Backlight Not Working Windows 7
Works perfectly with ccid & opensc .
Display Backlight Control
Control with the Fn buttons works correctly in 3.17 and 3.18 kernel. However, in 3.19 kernel, a minimum configuration is needed because toshiba_acpi kernel module add some non-necessary backlight control. For controlling with Fn, create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/80-backlight.conf with
Keyboard Backlight control
The backlight works correctly if it is configured on BIOS. toshiba_acpi kernel module add support for configuring the backlit of the keyboard. However, Fn-Z does not work. The modules can be changed in /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/TOS6208:00/kbd_backlight_mode with the modes: 2,8,16.
Fingerprint reader
The last version of fprintd has support for it. However, the image usually is wrong (lengthened) and needs two, three or more tries to obtain verifications.

Problem
The F1-F12 keys perform a different function than intended. You may need to hold the FN Key as well to get the intended function.
Cause
This can be normal behaviour. On some Toshiba laptops, the Function Keys Mode “Special function mode” is set by default instead of “Standard F1-F12 mode”. This means, you have to press the FN key to use the standard F1-F12 function keys.
Solution 1
You can configure the Function Keys Mode by selecting the “Special function mode” or “Standard F1-F12 mode” by the help of the HWSetup Utility.
Accessing HWSetup:
To run the HW Setup program:
Windows 7 or earlier: Click Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Tools & Utilities -> HWSETUP
Windows 8: Push the Start button, type HWSETUP and press Enter.
The HW Setup windows contains a number of tabs. Click the tab “Keyboard” and set your preferred mode:
