Module toshiba_acpi

Question

For the last month I have been searching for a way to control my Toshiba laptop. Recently I found out that toshset can do this for me. However, I had to load some modules like "toshiba_acpi."
At first, I tried to do this manually and the result was the following:
user@hostname ~ $ sudo modprobe toshiba_acpi
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'toshiba_acpi': No such device
Then I tried to do this installing the application from AUR: toshiba_acpi-modules-dkms
The result was following
Building module:
cleaning build area....
make KERNELRELEASE=3.19.0-1-ARCH....(bad exit status: 2)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.19.0-1-ARCH (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/toshiba_acpi-modules-dkms/1/build/make.log for more information.
and the /var/lib/dkms/toshiba_acpi-modules-dkms/1/build/make.log is the following

Can someone help me fix this error(s) and am I actually able to control the fan on my Laptop?
Thank you in advance!!!

Answer 1

Hi mate,
unfortunately the machine is not an original toshiba machine. Its a compal machine with a phoenix bios, so you will have to search for another solution.
I read in a Unix forum that not the CPU might be the problem (since the fan can be controlled via ACPI fan) but the vga card is making some trouble since the timings from the linux drivers are not right.
You should try NVclock but firstly you should find out which clocks are the right one for your mobile vga-card.
