KToshiba is a software that allows Toshiba laptop owners to monitor their battery and configure the function keys on their keyboard.
This software comes with a highly integrated Graphical User Interface (UI) that is compatible with KDE, a powerful Desktop Environment. Furthermore, it includes a configuration module available through the Control Center or directly from the application panel menu. All credit goes to Jonathan Buzzard and his Toshiba utilities, who made all these features possible.
Key features of KToshiba include battery status monitoring (including AC status), multi-media keys monitoring on the front panel, mute/unmute functionality (via KMix), lock screen (via DCOP call), battery save mode options, suspend to RAM (via ACPI, if available), suspend to Disk (via ACPI, if available), video out toggling (for the moment only a widget displays status, since some models do it automatically), raise/lower LCD brightness, control wireless antenna power (On/Off), and monitor switch status (On/Off), mousepad enabling/disabling (via ksynaptics and synaptics driver, if available), control of speaker volume (for models that do it via hotkey), control the fan status (On/Off), selection of desired boot priority, control LCD backlight (On/Off), control Bluetooth device (On, if available), control CPU frequency scaling via SpeedStep(r) (if available), control Hyper-Threading(r) support (if available), the list goes on, and there's more to come!
The new release of KToshiba version comes packed with unparalleled features. It now uses HAL for suspend support and enables running commands via Fn-keys. Also, the software has new model IDs, and it requires libsynaptics. With all these incredible features, KToshiba is a must-have software for Toshiba laptops.
