Bug Description

Binary package hint: tpb

After upgrading from Jaunty to Karmic, I recognized the following difference in Thinkpad buttons for my T61:

1. Mute, Volume up and Volume down buttons stop working
2. LCD bright/dark buttons work, but no on-screen indicators
3. Sleep button (F4) works as before
4. trackpoint/trackpad switching (F8) button works but previously not in Jaunty

2~4 are fine with me. It would be nice to investigate and fix the problem in 1.

thanks

Confirmed on T42, the tpb package wont start with user permissions.

Try out "tpb -d" as user, nothing happens and the keys wont work without any osd reaction.
Then try "sudo tpb -d", now the keys are working and the osd shows all usage well.

The bug is aside the permissions for tpb, found no solution as above ugly workaround.
