Bug#383326: acpi-support: Toshiba driver does not work

[Joseph Smidt]

Subject: acpi-support: Toshiba driver does not work
Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.84-1
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***
According to /usr/share/doc/acpi-support/README.toshiba in order to set up
acpi-support:

2. unload the current toshiba kernel module
   # rmmod toshiba_acpi

   (Don't worry if you get an error at this point)

3. create the configuration file
   # cd /etc/modprobe.d
   # cp /usr/share/doc/acpi-support/toshiba_acpi.modprobe .

4. attempt to load the toshiba support module again
   # modprobe toshiba_acpi

When I do step 4 this is the error I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/modprobe.d$ sudo modprobe toshiba_acpi
FATAL: Error inserting toshiba_acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.17-1-686/kernel/drivers/acpi/toshiba_acpi.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)


Here is sudo dmesg |grep acpi:
