Thinkpad buttons for SuSE9.1Pro
 

Hi,
I am using SuSE9.1Pro on my Thinkpad G40.
I installed thinkpad related utils like tpb, configure-thinkpad,tpctl ..etc which comes with SuSE9.1Pro DVD. But how to configure tpb.
If i run the command
tpb --osd=on --thinkpad="/usr/bin/X11/xterm -T ntpctl -e ntpctl"
on terminal all my Thinkpad buttons including AccessIBM button are working.
I want to automate this process. How to configure tpb to start automatically.

thanks/Naren

Just put your
in a bash-script, and add that to
~/.kde/Autostart
(assuming that you stuck with SuSE's default, KDE).

if i have 5 user accounts i have to put this in 5 different places ..am i right ???
I am using WindowMaker or fluxbox most of the times.
So i need to do this in startup script.

That's correct ... if it wasn't for the OSD bit you
could just stick it in the rc.local ... but since OSD
is X session specific you'll have to (depending on
how you start X/login in every users ~/.xsession
~/.xinitrc file ... (or at least a call to a shared
location).

Hi,
i found something similar to what i want, but it is for Debian,
-----------------------configuring tpb on Debian system-----------------
hansolo:/etc/init.d# wget -q http://www.hardeman.nu/~david/thinkpad/tpb.rc
hansolo:/etc/init.d# mv tpb.rc tpb
hansolo:/etc/init.d# chmod 0755 tpb
hansolo:/etc/init.d# echo "MIXER ON" > /etc/tpbrc
hansolo:/etc/init.d# echo "OSDSHADOW 0" >> /etc/tpbrc
hansolo:/etc/init.d# echo "OSDALIGN center" >> /etc/tpbrc
hansolo:/etc/init.d# echo "FORWARD /usr/bin/setmixer pcm +10" >> /etc/tpbrc
hansolo:/etc/init.d# echo "BACKWARD /usr/bin/setmixer pcm -10" >> /etc/tpbrc
hansolo:/etc/init.d# update-rc.d tpb defaults 99
Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/tpb ...

/etc/rc4.d/S99tpb -> ../init.d/tpb
/etc/rc5.d/S99tpb -> ../init.d/tpb
------------------end of conf-----------------------------------------------------------
i found this info at http://www.hardeman.nu/~david/thinkpad

But this is not working for SuSE , there is no update-rc.d command..
Please help me how to do the same thing for SuSE.
