I have activity detection working now. I have no idea what made it work,
might be something to do with mouseemu (which was stopped at that moment
because it ate 100% CPU). But it's not determinsitic; I first thought it
was a plain incompatibility with mouseemu, so stopping that should make
everything work.
Well, no luck, it's not that easy. Neither the fact that mouseemu is
running in parallel, nor the order in which thez are started seems to
matter.
There is one change, though, I replaced the earlier FN-key patch
(http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=3856) with the newer one
(http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=4127). But I can't se
what impact this can have on event detection.

Concerning udev, I'll recheck and file bugs as appropriate.
Cheers
