I have that here too, but it's weird, I think it might be yet another
udev bug.
benh@gaston:~/kernels/linux-work$ ls -l /dev/input/
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 68 2005-11-15 17:36 event4
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 63 2005-11-15 17:35 mice
That's all ! As you can see, a lot of stuff is missing there:
benh@gaston:~/kernels/linux-work$ ls -l /sys/class/input/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2005-11-19 10:44 event0 -> ../../class/input/input0/event0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2005-11-19 10:44 event1 -> ../../class/input/input1/event1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2005-11-19 10:44 event2 -> ../../class/input/input2/event2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2005-11-19 10:44 event3 -> ../../class/input/input3/event3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2005-11-19 10:44 event4 -> ../../class/input/input4/event4
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 0 2005-11-15 17:35 input0
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 0 2005-11-15 17:35 input1
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 0 2005-11-15 17:35 input2
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 0 2005-11-15 17:35 input3
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 0 2005-11-15 17:37 input4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2005-11-15 17:35 mice
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2005-11-19 10:44 mouse0 -> ../../class/input/input0/mouse0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2005-11-19 10:44 mouse1 -> ../../class/input/input3/mouse1
So I think it's udev that is broken (version 0.074-2 from sid)
Ben.
