I'm open to correction on this, but it looks like the problem is that a
modified version of the kernel module toshiba_acpi is required for
toshset to run. Although toshiba_acpi is present in Ubuntu 10.10 (with
kernel 2.6.35), it seems it is the unmodified version, and it needs to
be patched. Unfortunately I don't know how to do this - if anyone does
please let us know!

The older kernels, eg 2.6.32 (as used in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid) used the
patched driver, and this allowed toshset to run.

A work-around solution is simply to use the older kernel. Not an ideal
situation, of course, but until such time as the patched toshiba_acpi is
included in the latest kernel, using the older kernel will enable the
use of toshset.

Easiest way to do it is just install kernel 2.6.32-25-generic through
Synaptic. Everything still works as normal (at least on my system it
does), but most importantly, toshset works with this kernel.
