[ltp] tpb/nvram bewilderment

[Richard Neill]

Dear All,

This seems rather odd. Somehow, tpb (on an X20) has stopped working.
(I've already tried rebooting) - although it worked fine a few days ago. 
Yes, I have been reconfiguring quite a bit, but nothing as dramatic as a 
new kernel. I wonder whether anyone has any suggestions.

   Observations:

1)/dev/nvram is still there, with correct permissions (same as on a 
working A22p)

2)tpb is totally dead, although things like Fn-PgUp for the thinklight 
still work fine.

3)Volume up/down don't work any more for volume level - although they do 
work  for unmute. Volume mute works fine. In either case, there is a 1 
second delay.

4) watch --differences=cumulative -n 0 xxd /dev/nvram
does not show anything (on the X20, although it does on the A22p).

Has anyone seen this before?  I'm sure it's my fault for breaking it - 
but I can't see what I did.

Thanks,

Richard
