Bug#627982: xorg: MatchDevicePath does not handle symlinks (required by latest udev)



Hi Gabriel,

(oh, Jussieu again)

given you're running unstable+experimental, I'm not sure why you're
still having xorg from squeeze. Anyway, please follow up with the bug
script output:
  http://pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/howto/report-bugs.html

The bug script should tell us what udev think about the various input
devices, including attached properties (XKB*); see details in:
  http://pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/howto/configure-input.html

If the options are actually set, various things can eat them, like
gdm3. Otherwise, we'll see what's actually happening.

(And I think symlinks are handled just fine, fwiw.)

Mraw,
KiBi.
