The newest version is packed for openSUSE fortunately. But it doesn't
for my notebook. dmesg is:

omnibook: Driver version 2.20070211-trunk.
omnibook: Unknown model.
omnibook: dmi feature has no backend table, io_op not initialized.
omnibook: version feature has no backend table, io_op not initialized.
omnibook: Enabled features: dmi version.

So everything I can do is
toshiba:/proc/omnibook # cat dmi
BIOS Vendor: Phoenix Technologies LTD
BIOS Version: 2.00
BIOS Release: 08/30/2006
System Vendor: TOSHIBA
