Thanks, Duncan.
I've just discovered that it was wrong to suspect usbmount. The problems with
the remote control just returned. I have now also deinstalled udev (which I
just needed for usbmount) and it seems to work now (as it did before...).
...but I am still searching for the reason why the remote control sometimes
did not work.
I have also discovered that there are also sometimes problems with the sound
(oss on /dev/dsp). This is also only since I've experimented with the
udev/usb stuff.
About autofs: I thought that the problem with the unsafe unplug is because the
vfat filesystem does not really implement sync'ed mounting. Does this make a
difference with autofs compared to usbmount?
Cheers,
Thorsten
