tpb's on-screen display broken?
Hi! I'm running current (i386) on my ThinkPad T43. Somehow over the last updates -- I can't recall when this happened -- tpb stopped showing me the volume and brightness bar whenever I press the appropriate keys. These are however reported by tpb's verbose mode, and besides the missing on-screen display, the keys are fully functional. Strangely enough, the ThinkLight and the mute keys are still displayed on-screen. I've tried to start tpb without a configuration file (and therefore the default values, which enable the display for volume, mute and brightness) and I've also tried to set the options explicitly (OSDBRIGHTNESS ON/OSDVOLUME ON), but no luck. There weren't any significant updates to tpb or osd in the last months, so I suspect this might have something to do with the other dependencies, or... I really don't know. Is anybody with a ThinkPad willing to test this? It should be enough to just "pkg_add tpb; tpb-v" in a xterm and press those keys. tpb should report them being pressed and display stuff at the lower left corner. Thanks a lot. Regards André

That's exactly the behaviour I'm seeing, too. After Florians response, I did a fresh install on a USB stick, booted from it, and the problem was gone. Any clues what could be causing this? I'm really interested in debugging this further, so I a) can learn something new and b) don't have to install everything from scratch :-), whereas point "a" takes precedence, of course. To any experienced OpenBSD user: What would be your next steps to get this back to a working state? Thanks! Regards André
