<h1> Toshset </h1><p>

    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. 
<p> 

    Credit for the difficult task of reverse-engineering the Toshiba
hardware interface goes to others, principly Jonathan Buzzard.
His tools can be found at
<a href="http://www.buzzard.org.uk/toshiba/">
http://www.buzzard.org.uk/toshiba/
</a>

<p>

Toshset can now be used under ACPI if the
<a href="http://memebeam.org/toys/ExperimentalToshibaAcpiDriver">
experimental toshiba acpi driver</a>
from John Belmonte is used. This 
<a href="http://www.flurble.org/computers/toshset.pl">
site 
</a>
has additional hints if you have
toshset trouble and are running ACPI.


<p>

The current version is __VERSION__. 
<p>
new:
<ul>
<li> fixed reported SCI version so that it's not garbage.
<li> new and updated machine ids.
</ul>
not as new new:
<ul>
<li> fixes for battery reporting status - now works for the second battery.
<li> features added by G. L. Gragnani:
      USB legacy mode, USB FDD emulation mode, LAN controller, sound logo,
  startup logo
<li> added sci/hci interface information to output: reports whether toshset is
     using the kernel interface, or direct calls to the BIOS.
<li> cleaned up SCI/HCI interface: now will only use the kernel interface 
     if /proc/toshiba is present, and will fail if ACPI is in use, and no 
     kernel interafce is found.
<li> added -inten option, to control LCD brightness through the HCI
     interface. This provides finer granularity than -lcd access, and seems 
     to work under the latest experimental toshiba_acpi module versions.
<li> now can query wireless status, and enable internal bluetooth
     adapter.
<li> now optionally uses the toshiba kernel interface (compile-time flag).
<li> fixed autooff feature.
<li> added three video-out modes. See README.video in the distribution.
<li> setting the owner/user password now works
<li> setting/querying the owner string now works
</ul>

<p>

The binary should work with 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernels. It may work for others
as well. 
<p>
toshset -h for help.
Patches, comments and the output of toshset -v -q are welcome.
