Does anybody know if there are plans to port the toshiba-acpi-extras
from linux to the freebsd kernel? Without these additional acpi
variables it is not possible to adjust the LCD brightness for recent
Toshiba laptops (satellite 2400,2450,2455 and others). Not being able to
dim the LCD screen is a real bummer.
