Public bug reported:
Running wmtuxtime as myself produces the helpful error message about the
kernel not having the necessary module, even though the toshiba module
is shown by lsmod. (The documentation is also somewhat lacking here, as
it only talks about "the kernel module" a lot, without mentioning the
actual name of the module.)
It turns out that changing the owner of /dev/toshiba fixes the problem.
As a workaround, I changed the group for /dev/toshiba to admin, which
works for me (but is probably not a good general solution).
At a minimum, if the actual ownership/permissions cannot be solved
elegantly, the error message in this case should not be so misleading.
Dapper "alt. server" install + x-window-system-core, xdm, and various
other goodies.
