The toshiba needs ACPI support for this which we don't currently include. We are reviewing ACPI support as a candidate for future releases depending on its stability now.
I would like to point out that Laptops are one of the segments in the computer hardware market that is still growing ! And that small business owners tend to buy laptops, not desktops. This fix is critical to moving Linux onto the desktop.
Can you please try 2.4.22-rc4 (or 2.4.6-test4) with ACPI enabled? If it does not work, please provide acpidmp info so that we can find a similar machine or understand what AML is doing?
FC2-test1 includes the ACPI patch above that fixed the problem. Closing. Please re-open if you still see issues. thanks, -Len
