Fantastic!! Your instructions worked perfectly! :)

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to put this together.

Just a few suggestions that may help other newbies like me:

For step 1)
get the kernel source package:
 #> sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.35
get the kernel building source packages:
 #> sudo apt-get install kernel-package libncurses5-dev fakeroot wget bzip2
(maybe not all these packages are necessary, but I don't think it will harm to install them)

For step 8), to edit the Makefile as root:
 #> sudo gedit Makefile

For step 12)
Copy the file toshiba_acpi.ko to /lib/modules/*/extra (replace * with your current kernel version).
remove the old module:
 #> sudo rmmod toshiba_acpi
and load the new module:
 #> sudo modprobe toshiba_acpi
(or simply reboot)

At last toshset works again :)
