Description
Toshset is a command-line tool to allow access to much of the Toshiba laptop hardware interface developed by Jonathan Buzzard. It can do things like set the hard drive spin-down time, turn off the display and set the fan speed without the help of the kernel. Toshset requires an experimental version of the toshiba_acpi kernel module with an ACPI-enabled kernel. Otherwise it works only if the laptop supports the old APM BIOS. (The last of these was produced something like 5 years ago) Please read README.Debian how to install the experimental version of the toshiba_acpi kernel module. (Ubuntu users don't need it)

This package also includes the Toshsat1800-irdasetup by Daniele Peri. It can be used to configure IrDA for laptops with ALI1533 bridge (LPC47N227 SuperIO), smc-ircc and not initializing BIOS (tested on Toshiba Satellite 1800-514). Homepage: http://www.csai.unipa.it/peri/toshsat1800-irdasetup/
