So, /sbin/hotplug has been deprecated in favour of /sbin/udevsend in Arch. But why has that broken my evdev function? I don't use hotplug. With the new udev installed I can still get a result from grep -Hsi keyboard /sys/class/input/event*/device/driver/description | grep -o 'event[0-9]\+' but it is not working during boot when it is required - has the changed affected how the paths are initially generated maybe? I know little about how udev works so I'm asking in case it is obvious!
