In 8.10, toshset (still?) does not work. Apparently (grep -i tosh /boot/config-2.6.27-7-generic), the kernel toshiba support is not enabled, so no toshiba or toshiba_acpi modules are there.
Running 8.10 on a Toshiba Portege R500 here.
Also, the package info for toshset is wrong. It says:
Toshset ia a command-line tool to allow access to much of the
Toshiba laptop hardware interface developed by Jonathan Buzzard. It can do
things like set the hard drive spin-down time, turn off the display
and set the fan speed without the help of the kernel.
The difference to toshutils is, that it does not need X or kernel-support.
It says that toshset does not need kernel-support, but it gives an error message when run without kernel support. (Or maybe the package description is correct, and something else is broken. But something is broken in either case.)
