In the past few days i became quite frustrated with my Toshiba Satellite L30-113a laptop. Thing is i can't get the ACPI to work. Or should i say it works partially, the functional keys work, i got the sound and the wireless working, yet an important thing in the laptop is not working – namely the CPU fan. I did some research and found that Toshiba are not very Linux friendly, yet there must be some solution.
So far i have done this:
I turned on Toshiba support in the ACPI at the kernel and compile it.
The ACPI recognized and displayed the battery and the functional keys
#cat /proc/toshiba/ - missing
#cat /proc/acpi/toshiba - missing
#lsmod | grep acpi
pcc_acpi 14080 0
dev_acpi 12292 0
asus_acpi 17308 0
It is clear that toshiba_acpi is missing and the module is not loaded
#sudo modprobe toshiba_acpi
FATAL: Error inserting toshiba_acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko): No such device
#find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "tosh*"
/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/drivers/char/toshiba.ko
Yet the module is present but it's not loaded!
