High-performance ultrabook laptop of Toshiba made for professionals and business. Portégé Z30-A has a long-lasting battery, full-size ports in a laptop of 13.3" and 1.2Kg.
Bluetooth
The toshiba_bluetooth kernel module is auto-loaded but is not necessary and, in fact, 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, to make it permanent create:
/etc/modprobe.d/toshiba-blacklist.conf
blacklist toshiba_bluetooth
WiFi
linux-firmware is needed for the correct working of WiFi, see Network configuration/Wireless.
Smartcard reader
Works perfectly with ccid & opensc, see Smartcards.
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
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight" # use your backlight that works here
EndSection
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.
# echo 2 > /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/TOS6208:00/kbd_backlight_mode
Fingerprint reader
Fprint has support for it. However, the image usually is wrong (lengthened) and needs two, three or more tries to obtain verifications.
