Hmmm, still doesn't work for me.

Here's the output from "uname -a":
Linux user-r600-laptop 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I've tried what @Solnyshok did:

>sudo rmmod toshiba_acpi

Then I copy the precompiled toshiba_acpi.ko (as root) into:
 /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/extra
 /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86

Note that I do NOT have a lib64 folder! You all seem to have a lib64 folder - could the precompiled module be 64bit and mine is 32bit? However, trying to "sudo make install" the downloaded patch myself and I still get the same errors I posted above :(

(I also had to create folder called 'extra')

>sudo rmmod toshiba_acpi
>sudo modprobe toshiba_acpi

Then I get this error:

FATAL: Error inserting toshiba_acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/toshiba_acpi.ko): Invalid module format

Any ideas guys?
