Not only for P105-9722, but to ALL Toshiba laptops!

See this (Toshiba M45-S355):

#modprobe toshiba_acpi
FATAL: Error inserting toshiba_acpi
(/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-cfs-v22/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko): No
such device

Default brightness in this laptop is "Full bright" and this is
very unconfortable to me.

To change brightness I need boot by Windows, change brightness to
minimum (using Fn+F6), and reboot to use Linux.

I do this over 1 year!

But now, I find omnibook driver
(http://omnibook.sourceforge.net/doku.php) and with this I can change
brightness writing in /proc/omnibook/lcd

I think that Toshiba can provide MORE support to Kernel Developers!

If you can't support linux, so please, provide datas do someone do that.
