[Bug 372530] [NEW] Please add Omnibook Kernel Module to Ubuntu

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have a Toshiba L305 and the only way to detect the ac adapter being
plugged or unplugged is with the omnibook kernel module that can be
found here: http://omnibook.sourceforge.net/

At a minimum this package should be installable from the repository, but
it would be best to include it out of the box since most users would
just decide that Ubuntu sucks if their laptop needed this and they would
just go back to Windows. This module is the only way to use the Fn
screen brightness keys and more importantly is the only way to detect if
the ac adapter is plugged in or not.

I'd love to see this merged into the kernel, but until that happens it
must be included in Ubuntu seprately.
