Check out http://omnibook.sourceforge.net The module there is for 
Toshiba laptops with the Phoenix bios. I don't think your laptop is 
supported yet as the developer hasn't received the necessary documents 
from Toshiba yet, but may be supported in the future (I think the main 
developer requested the documents from Toshiba and he is waiting on those)

I have an a105 and am also waiting support for the Fn keys and LCD 
brightness adjustment support.
