[tlinux-users:08547] Re: reg:ToshibaA100-139 Fn key

Heh....That was pretty stupid of me...:)

There's a sticker on the bottom of your laptop(hopefully) that has it
anyways.

Mine has this:

              Toshiba
          Satellite P100
Model Number  PSPA3C-SD300E

Mine lists as a Satellite P100-SD300 everywhere else.

Yours will probably be something like:
              Toshiba
          Satellite A100
Model Number  XXXXXX-(something)

The part you're looking for is the "XXXXXX"

Hope that works better...
