Quoting from udev's NEWS.Debian.gz: The default rules files have been moved to /lib/udev/rules.d/ and /etc/udev/rules.d/ is supposed to contain only generated files or custom directives. (starting udev version 0.140-1) [ snip: udev reads many more .rules files ] > udev_rules_new: rules use 100692 bytes tokens (8391 * 12 bytes), 13475 bytes > buffer > udev_rules_new: temporary index used 30820 bytes (1541 * 20 bytes) > udev_device_new_from_syspath: device 0x8074d10 has devpath > '/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input10/event7' > udev_device_new_from_syspath: device 0x80747e8 has devpath > '/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input10/event7' > udev_device_read_db: device 0x80747e8 filled with db file data Here is where things start to go wrong: At this point udev should apply two rules, "LINK 'char/13:71'" and "NAME 'input/event7'" from the file /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules. This does not happen because of what I pointed out above. I think you simply have to get rid of /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules. If you customized this file then you have to port your changes to the new file in /lib/udev/rules.d/. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
