This module below work fine in some tested laptops with Phoenix BIOS.
And omnibook driver available in [1] work fine in some laptops with
TOSHIBA BIOS is not recognized by toshiba_acpi.
[1]:
svn export https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/omnibook/omnibook/trunk
Forwarding from: Toshiba_Linux-Users (tlinux-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
=============
To compile:
Edit a Makefile and add:
obj-m := test.o
then run in the same directory:
make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=`pwd` modules
Then make the file for the new device:
mknod test_file c 181 0
Load de module:
insmod test.ko
And now, if you are very very lucky, maybe it will work:
echo 3 > test_file
But I warn: THE MOST PROBABLY THING WILL HAPPEN IS THE FREEZE OF THE
LAPTOP IF YOUR MODEL DOESN'T MATCH EXACTLY WITH THE MODEL I TESTED. If
you don't have a Phoenix BIOS don't try this, and if you have.. well..
it's your election x)
Here is the driver
test.c

/*
* Module for Toshiba lcd bright change.
* I only made it for my Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 with Phoenix BIOS
* I don't know under which models it works (I suppose very few)
* The asm code I inserted I took it from a disass of the windows
* driver provided by Toshiba.
* WARNING:
* The driver does NOT make any tests if the model is valid or not
* so, the MOST probably effect of running this will be the hang of
* the laptop, or something worse.
* PLEASE DON'T USE THIS unless you really know what you are doing
* This module isn't made for give support to any Toshiba model,
* only for tests purpouses , sorry about it.
