toshiba_acpi does only work on some Toshiba laptop. Some models are built 
by Toshiba itself (Toshiba BIOS), some are Compal OEMs (Phoenix BIOS).

toshiba_acpi does work only on machines with a Toshiba BIOS.

For Compal machines you might look into the omnibook kernel modul. This 
driver is not included in Fedora kernel, so you have to compile it by yourself.
