Known issue with most of the Toshiba Satellite series with a Phoenix
BIOS.  I guess that Toshiba (or in fact Compal) still don't
know how to debug correctly their ASLs.

You need a patched DSDT for this model.  Please send me your DSDT.
BTW, I think that my tosh3k kernel module at
ftp://ftp.poupinou.org/tosh_3000/
will work for you.  I am in process of rewrite it a little, then I think
that I can probably add your model if you agree.

The toshiba acpi support would probably not work for you, because your BIOS is
a Phoenix one, not a Toshiba one.

This is a 'legacy-free' bios...
