toshiba_acpi fails to load on Edgy Beta

On further investigation, it seems the toshiba_acpi module won't load. From /var/log/messages:

Oct 1 09:42:51 jldugger-tablet kernel: [17179593.472000] toshiba_acpi: ktoshkeyd initialisation failed. Refusing to load module

ktoshkeyd is what turns Fnkey presses into acpi events. I'm not sure whether this is the correct pacakge for this bug anymore, because "sudo modprobe toshiba_acpi" results in a kernel oops.

moved from acpi-support to kernel, since the module doesn't load and trying yields an Oops

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached its end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
