I AM A COMPLETE IDIOT!
There is a keyboard combination on a Toshiba laptop - "Fn + F9".
What does this combination do? "ENABLE TOUCHPAD"
I feel like such a "user", LOL
That'll teach me to not read the manual.
Cheers

TOSH1800-SMCINIT(8) Linux IrDA TOSH1800-SMCINIT(8)
NAME
tosh1800-smcinit - initialize the IrDA controler on Toshiba laptops
SYNOPSIS
tosh1800-smcinit [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
IrDA configurator for laptops with ALI1533 bridge (LPC47N227 SuperIO), smc-ircc and not initializing BIOS (tested on Toshiba Satellite
1800-514, Toshiba Satellite 5100 and Toshiba Tecra 9100) to be used with Linux kernel.
Toshiba Satellite 1800 laptops are provided with a SMCS LPC47N227 SuperIO chip which is IrDA SIR/FIR capable. The chip is connected
through an ALI1533 PCI-ISA bridge. The IrDA subsystem of the SuperIO chip is supported by the smc-ircc Linux kernel module. Unfortunately
the BIOS neither configurates the SuperIO chip IrDA subsystem (SIR port, FIR port, dma, irq, IrDA mode, power) nor sets the PCI-ISA bridge
to decode any usable port. Linux kernel is thus prevented to detect the second UART making impossible to use it in SIR mode. For the same
reason, the FIR mode smc-ircc is able to detect the SuperIO chip but, once found the IrDA subsystem unconfigured, fails to install.
tosh1800-smcinit sets SIR and FIR ioport addresses, DMA and IRQ of the SuperIO chip IrDA subsystem then powers on the second UART. It also
configures the PCI-ISA bridge to decode SIR and FIR ports. All this configuration work should be rather done into the kernel but it was
more practical and safe to make a small testing tool of it. It can be probably extended to include configuration kludges for other similar
SuperIO and ISA bridge combination.
Testing was carried on a Toshiba Satellite 1800-514 with Linux kernel 2.4.17. I hope this work could be helpful, it was quite funny to do
it however.
