Thank you Solnyshok for the information, and also keks-n for the pre- compiled module. It also works for me.
Actually I found it is not necessary (at least in my case) to create the "extra" folder and copy the toshiba_acpi module into it. All I had to do was copy the modified toshiba_acpi.ko to /lib64/modules/2.6.38-*-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86. Then remove the old module (rmmod) and start the new one (modprobe). All done! To Alex: Once you have toshset working (see above), to use the trans-reflective mode just use the following command: To turn trans-reflective on: sudo toshset -trmode on And to turn it off again: sudo toshset -trmode off There might also be a way to activate the special button above the keyboard. You might find that once toshset is working your script might work again :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/644898 Title: required kernel toshiba support not enabled -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
