No, I have exactly the same (self-compiled kernel based on Debian kernel-source with CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA=m). But from http://memebeam.org/toys/ExperimentalToshibaAcpiDriver: Question: Will this experimental driver ever be rolled into the mainstream kernel? I've been using toshiba_acpi_0.18-dev_toshiba_test4 for nearly a year, without any problems. The driver is stable, but the issue is that the original toshiba driver "owns" the /dev/toshiba device, and I'm not sure if it's ok for my driver to co-opt it. Also, it's not clear to me how distributions will configure which module gets loaded when a program accesses /dev/toshiba. And if I look at the kernel source, I don't see this [1] patch in toshiba_acpi.c, so I do not have /dev/toshiba and /proc/toshiba that seem to be needed for toshset; just the /proc/acpi/toshiba from the "official" toshiba_acpi.c.
