toshiba_acpi with Toshiba Satellite P20-771

Hi guys!

I have a Toshiba Satellite P20-771. I tried to follow this procedure in the openSuse wiki but when I try to load the updated module (modprobe -a toshiba_acpi) I get:

Code:

WARNING: Error inserting toshiba_acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.18.6-jen43-default/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko): No such device

I looked in that folder and the file is there, obviusly because I copied the patched file there...

Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

PS: I need to load this module to enable the BT module (with Toshutils or ToshTools), turned off by default from ACPI on boot...

From the toshiba_acpi development web page:

Another important note: This driver does not work on all Toshiba laptops, particularly those models which seem to have a BIOS or other firmware which was not developed by Toshiba itself. New reverse engineering work will have to be done on these machines, or Toshiba will have to disclose the necessary details. (For support of machines with Phoenx BIOS, try the [Omnibook driver].) The error you will see in this case is:

$ modprobe toshiba_acpi
FATAL: Error inserting toshiba_acpi
(.../kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko): No such device
