Hey Florian,

Thanks a lot for your reply!

According to your email, I think I'm having a udev problem. Below are
the output of the commands you asked me to input

$$$$$---------------------quote begin------------------------$$$
LIJIANG:~# dpkg -l hotplug udev | grep -v '^[D|+]'
rc  hotplug        0.0.20040329-26 Linux Hotplug Scripts
ii  udev           0.105-4         /dev/ and hotplug management daemon
LIJIANG:~# ls -l /dev/input/by-path/
ls: /dev/input/by-path/: No such file or directory
$$$$$---------------------quote end------------------------$$$

What shold I do now?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Blessings,
Rocky
