What is TPB?

TPB is a little program that enables you to use the IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad(tm) special keys.

With TPB it is possible to bind a program to the ThinkPad, Mail, Home and Search button. TPB can also run a callback program on each state change with the changed state and the new state as options. So it is possible to trigger several actions on different events. TPB has a on-screen display (OSD) to show volume, mute, brightness and some other informations. Furthermore TPB supports a software mixer, as the R series ThinkPads have no hardware mixer to change the volume.

3. July 2008

Almost three years ago my T21 broke. Now I got my brand new T61. So I started modifying TPB to work with this ThinkPad. It seems that almost all buttons moved from nvram to xevents. I had to change a lot things and because I don't own an old ThinkPad I'm not sure I didn't brake something. So if you own an old ThinkPad, please consider testing the latest SVN code.
