Hi,
both Toshiba types (original and compal-oem machines) are basically unsupported for Linux.
The omnibook-module for compal-systems was maintained outside the kernel and stalled for some time now.
The toshiba_acpi included in the kernel is outdated (there is a newer release, that fixes some bugs). Toshiba_acpi does only work on 32 bit systems, it breaks on 64 bit systems.
If anyone is interested in some hacking I can provide shell-access to both types of machines.
For some Tecra machines, Toshiba has provided some Vista-compatible BIOSes, they seem to enhance acpi-stuff for Linux too. So you might look for a bios-update.
