[ltp] Enabling ThinkPad buttons R31 & SUSE 10.1

[James Knott]

I'm trying to enable ThinkPad buttons etc., in SUSE 10.1, on an R31.
While the buttons appear to work, though not properly, there is still a
configuration issue with /dev/nvram.  According to "Personal Settings"
"IBM ThinkPad Laptop, /dev/nvram permissions are supposed to be set to
666.  However, I cannot get that value to stick.  Instead, I get 644.
I've tried adding a mode to the mknod line in /etc/init.d/after.local
and also a separate chmod line.  Neither of these seems to work.  Any
idea how I can get the permissions to stay at 666?

tnx jk
