toshiba or toshiba_acpi
 

Can anyone tell me how the heck to get either the toshiba module or the toshiba_acpi module to DO anything or where I can find some decent instructions on how to make them do something? I've found a few pages about the 5105 but they just kinda say "use ___ to control the fan/video out/etc."!

I've tried installing toshutils on my Satellite 5105-s607 but nothing works (and tuxtime looked so nice!). If you can help, I would appreciate it! :scratch:

not a direct answer to your question but check out

look under the mailing list. they have a bunch of *very* knowledgeable people about toshiba laptops and linux. Hope it's useful :)
