- Toshset is a command-line tool allowing access to much of the
- Toshiba hardware interface. It can do things like control
- display brightness, set the fan speed, and enable the optional
- Bluetooth interface.
-
- Credit for the difficult task of reverse-engineering the Toshiba
- hardware interface goes to others, principly Jonathan Buzzard.
-
- The toshset home page is
- http://schwieters.org/toshset.html
-
- A link for Jonathan's tools is
- http://www.buzzard.org.uk/toshiba/
-
- To build an executable:
-
- ./configure
- make
- make install
-
- For command-line options, try toshset with no command-line options.
-
- Comments, suggestions, and the output of toshset -v -q are welcome.

- Support for the Toshiba hardware kernel interface: uncommenting the
- appropriate line in the Makefile enables USE_KERNEL_INTERFACE. In its
- current incarnation, when compiled with this option, toshset first
- tries the kernel interface before attempting to talk directly to the
- BIOS. This will likely evolve a bit. The justification for this
- option: operation under ACPI. Hopefully, the toshiba kernel interface
- will soon support ACPI, and with it toshset.
-
- This program is a work in progress. Because Toshiba has not published
- its hardware specifications, Jonathan's task of reverse-engineering is
- an ongoing process.
