Do you know which mailing list i should mail about this issue? Reading the [1] I would try the following. 1. »Adding questions [to the page] is also helpful.« Edit [1] and put your question there. 2. If that does not help. Mail the auther directly. <toshiba_a...@m…> 3. Ask on the list of Linux ACPI [2]. Thanks, Paul [1] http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver [2] http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/
