i now have output on the hdmi monitor,
one thing that i've noticed is the boot up information
stops after displaying the date and doesn't proceed to the login
prompt,
i can ping and ssh into the pi but no login prompt,


It might need something like this in /etc/ttys:

ttyC0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt220   on  secure

See ttys(5)!

I will try this the next time the touchpad stops working.


In the meantime...

I can't easily tell because without xorg.conf the system is unusable
due to the "cursor jumps to left or top of screen" problem.

Yes, xorg.conf is still necessary on both my T530 and my T580 to avoid
the cursor jumps, at least for twm and ctwm.  xorg.conf is NOT necessary
for fvwm on either machine.

All the best, keep safe and COVID-free, -- Jonathan

You are also rude, much ruder than that, to others. Did you think,
you are very special, so that you deserve a different treatment?

Re: What password manager do you recommend?

[Willy Gonnason]

I’ve used keepassxc, or earlier variants of it, for over a decade and a half 
and Ive been happy with it.  Keepassxc is gui based software.  There’s more 
info available on the project page: (https://keepassxc.org/project/ 
).  You might find a command line version more 
to your liking.  Various implementations for different platforms are documented 
at (https://pwsafe.org/relatedprojects.html 
)

Keepassxc is open source and cross platform.  Variants that can read the 
encrypted database exist for all the platforms I still have to deal with: 
Linux, MacOS, phones, and Windows.  It's based on the password safe code 
originally written by Bruce Schneier. 

It’s available from ports (openports.se )

Regards,
Willy Gonnason

FWIW https://openports.pl/ is a better ports site, run by Solene ( 
https://openbsd.amsterdam/runs.html )

Re: What password manager do you recommend?

[Kristaps Dzonsons]

If you're using keepassxc-browser with chromium in ports (at least for 
7.0), note that the same unveil bits documented for firefox apply:


% tail /etc/chromium/unveil.main 


[snip]
# KeePassXC
/usr/local/bin r
/usr/local/bin/keepassxc-proxy rx

If you don't have the /usr/local/bin unveil, it will not properly detect 
the proxy plugin.  (There's an assertion in the source prior to the exec 
that getcwd must exist, which is invoked in /usr/local/bin.)

Documentation error in pci_mapreg_probe(9)

[Ted Bullock]

The manpage incorrectly describes the behaviour and usage of
pci_mapreg_probe(9). This function does not return 0 for success and !0
for failure as described in the manual, see the diff below for a
possible re-wording and corrected description.
