Toshiba Satellite R830 - ArchWiki

# Toshiba Satellite R830

## Wi-Fi & Ethernet

Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) and Intel Corporation 82579V Gigabit Ethernet with kernel 3.8 work out of the box.

## Brightness

xbacklight from xorg-xbacklight works fine.

## Brightness control after Suspend and resume

Brightness control works until sleep but after resume it does not.

In the past, adding `acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor` to kernel-line (see Kernel Parameters[broken link: invalid section]) helped me.

A better solution that works on all DEs I've tested (XFCE,Gnome, Cinnamon) is using the `video.disable_backlight_sysfs_if=1` kernel paramater. This should not be combined with the previously-mentioned kernel parameters.

There is another solution here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=132044

Another possibility is using a custom xorg configuration file. (Ignored by Gnome 3.16+)

In a terminal type:

        sudo touch /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Now edit this file:

        sudo xdg-open /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Type the following code:

       Section "Device"
           Identifier  "card0"
           Driver      "intel"
           Option      "Backlight"  "intel_backlight"
           BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
       EndSection

Save the file; log out and in again.

As of Kernel version 4.4, there is no need to change kernel boot parameters or or create xorg.conf files.
