If anybody is interested, you can find the patch at http://linux.imp.mx/toshiba/ In to use it, apply patch and recompile acpi.ko module and copy to /boot/kernel. Once rebooted, sysctl will see two new variables: hw.acpi.toshiba.lcd_brightness hw.acpi.toshiba.force_fan lcd_brightness has eight values (0-7) and force fan two values (0-1). Finally I can dim the screen and get rid of this headache... Edscott Wilson Garcia
