Comment 74 for bug 644898

I also tried the module posted by keks-n, but got exactly the same result as Alex. Using kernel 2.6.38.8 in Ubuntu Natty.

Then I tried installing the updated toshiba_acpi patch for kernel 2.6.38. Everything went well until the following step:

sudo make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` M=`pwd` modules_install

At this point a new file was created:

/lib/modules/2.6.38.2/extra/toshiba_acpi.ko

However, I am using kernel 2.6.38.8 so I expected the new subdirectory in /lib/modules to be 2.6.38.8 (not 2.6.38.2)

There were no errors, so I continued the procedure. Everything else completed with no further surprises. However, at the end, running Toshset gave the same old error message: "required kernel toshiba support not enabled".

So it looks like a little more tweaking is required for kernel 2.6.38

Toshset works with the patch from post #24 in kernel version 2.6.37 with Ubuntu Natty
