Rafal, try use omnibook driver.
Get it with subversion:
$ svn co
https://omnibook.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/omnibook/omnibook/trunk
Use "make install" and "make load".
After this, maybe is possible change brightness writing in
/proc/omnibook/lcd (0 is minimun and 7 is max brightness)
Best regards,

The newest version is packed for openSUSE fortunately. But it doesn'tfor my notebook. dmesg is:

Try compile SVN version as commented in my last e-mail

Try force recognize with ectype parameter.
#modprobe omnibook ectype=x
Where "x" is a number between 1 and 15.
Load with ectype=1, test, unload, try load again with ectype=2, test,
unload...

OK, I tried version from SVN. Nothing changed :|

Sure, I tried every ectype between 1 and 15 before (omnibook frompackage) and now (version from SVN) again. I checked two files (whenexisted): lcd and temperature. Temperature (if file existed for forcedectype) was always 0 and lcd always had some random values. Insertingother values (1, 7) didn't change anything.

Hi,
both Toshiba types (original and compal-oem machines) are basically
unsupported for Linux.
The omnibook-module for compal-systems was maintained outside the kernel
and stalled for some time now.
The toshiba_acpi included in the kernel is outdated (there is a newer
release, that fixes some bugs). Toshiba_acpi does only work on 32 bit
systems, it breaks on 64 bit systems.
If anyone is interested in some hacking I can provide shell-access to
both types of machines.
For some Tecra machines, Toshiba has provided some Vista-compatible
BIOSes, they seem to enhance acpi-stuff for Linux too. So you might look
for a bios-update.
