Necoro So ... ehm... after having had the same problem (I migrated to udev yesterday night), i know what you are meaning. And I have it solved as following: a) when you are using /dev/pilot as the device change in 50-udev.rules: KERNEL=ttyUSB[0-9]*, NAME=tts/USB%n to KERNEL=ttyUSB0*, NAME=tts/USB0 KERNEL=ttyUSB[2-9]*, NAME=tts/USB%n KERNEL=ttyUSB1*, NAME=tts/USB%n, SYMLINK=pilot The important one is the last of the three.. (And perhaps there's somebody out there to put the first and second line together in a single one) b) when you are using /dev/tts/USB1 feed gnome-pilot with this as the device... it puts out an error message which could be ignored - it works nevertheless hth Necoro -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] How can I make udev play nicely with my palm pilot
In the end I changed to static nodes for this - I think the whole udev/devfs thing is a solution looking for a problem to solve - overall it creates far more difficulties than the old static system. Next Iam trying to solve the problem why the backup crashes while trying to save some of the java modules.
