Hello, I recently acquired a Toshiba L655 laptop, fairly new stuff (both network card drivers have yet to be merged into the mainline kernel). I had issues getting Fedora installed, it had massive kernel panics related to ACPI, but installed with acpi=off. Doing so removed some advanced features, like power management and cpu frequency scaling. However, after a BIOS update, acpi now works and I've been having a good time playing around. The reason for this email is as a thank you to all those who played a part in the 'polishing' work that goes into making something like Fedora work well on a laptop. All the function keys work, I don't know how it knows which key should do what, but pressing Fn+3/4 adjusts the volume, just like in the original OS this thing had installed, the kill switch Fn+F8 works, Brightness, suspend, special buttons that lock the mousepad etc etc etc... Its really nice to get the operating installed, and not have to do anything manually to get this kind of stuff working. So pat on the back to those involved in the polishing, little nit picky details like these.
