This only makes sense if all the rest of /proc/acpi/toshiba/* is now
implemented in proper modern kernel facilities. I noticed rfkill
switches (although I'll have to see if another is needed for the HSDPA
modems in modern laptops) and a proper brightness control. I assume
xrandr does what video did, which just leaves the fan control.
