ThinkPads

This page contains some hints for thinkpad users

h2. TPB - Enable Thinkpad buttons

You may want to get some display to work. Please install [TPB|http://www.nongnu.org/tpb/].(see also ThinkWiki-Entry: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tpb

{code}
sudo conary update tpb
{code}

... which will also install xosd ([X11 Onscreen Display|http://ignavus.net/software.html]).
After that you should add *tpb* to the start applications (System->Settings-Sessions) and relogin. Then tpb should be enabled. Test with pressing volume control buttons or something like that. You can configure via configurations files.
