Try all the different ectype numbers, even if it isn't listed as
supported. My A135-2246 isn't listed as supported, but it
works with ectype=12

So try modprobing it with ectype= 0 thru 20

You can remove it with modprobe -r omnibook

Also, and I'm not sure about this, there may some kernel configuration
parameter, which you may need, OR may interfere with the omnibook
lcd backlight control.  A 2.6 level kernel is required.
