Not true :-)

This laptop (M45-S355) have a TOSHIBA BIOS, not Phoenix Bios.

This module (toshiba_acpi) is too old and don't work in most recent 
laptops (> 3 years).

So, we can't use multimedia keys (none key is recognized by xev) and 
can't use Fn+Fx keys to change brightness, change video output, change 
sound volume, etc.

As comment in past, if you don't support Linux, so provide datas to 
developers do that!
