[opensuse-kernel] ACPI configuration for kernel in openSUSE
Hi, I wonder if there is some reason why kernel provided with openSUSE has toshiba acpi disabled? It causes I can not use additional features such as LCD brightness. toshiba:~ # modprobe toshiba_acpi FATAL: Error inserting toshiba_acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.25.9-0.2-pae/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko): No such device There is some howto: http://en.opensuse.org/Upgrading_Toshiba_ACPI_to_support_bluetooth/fnfx/tosh... but this need kernel recompilation which needs some skills from end-users. Can we enable CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA? -- Rafał Miłecki

Oh, the same result is for me in openSUSE 11.0: # zgrep ACPI_TOSHIBA /proc/config.gz CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA=m However I get this
FATAL: Error inserting toshiba_acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.25.9-0.2-pae/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko): No such device on modprobe.
Does it mean bug in driver? Should I report this to toshiba_acpi developers? -- Rafał Miłecki

I should have google before posting. Found this thread: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/SuSE/2008-06/msg01936.html It seems that support for Toshiba notebooks with Phoenix BIOS is quite poor :| -- Rafał Miłecki

For a toshiba laptop with a phoenix BIOS you might want to try the omnibook driver (package omnibook-kmp-$flavour), worked pretty well on my old Satellite. -- with kind regards (mit freundlichem Grinsen), Ruediger Oertel (ro@novell.com,ro@suse.de,bugfinder@t-online.de) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Linux Fatou 2.6.25.9-3-default #1 SMP 2008-06-28 00:00:07 +0200 x86_64 Key fingerprint = 17DC 6553 86A7 384B 53C5 CA5C 3CE4 F2E7 23F2 B417 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
