Nope - take a look at the fnfx docs and you'll see you need to compile 
in the Toshiba extensions.

     These functions heavily depend on the system and/or kernel
    configuration.
    You will need at least a kernel (v2.4.x, v2.5.x, v2.6.x) with ACPI and
    Toshiba support (CONFIG_ACPI and CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA).

Further on its says

    To check if ACPI and ACPI Toshiba support are enabled check the
    following proc entries exists:

    /proc/acpi
    /proc/acpi/toshiba

And whilst I have /proc/acpi I don't have  /proc/acpi/toshiba ( I also 
get the predicted errors if I try modprobe toshiba_acpi).

So - I do need to recompile my kernel and I do need a pointer to some 
docs that tell me how to go about this so I don't break everything else!
