Simon.

  
I updated sucessfully udev to 096 as well as the rules and the LFS bootscripts.
(The udevd error messages was due to the presence of 4 files from the old udev release in /sbin.
After removing them, all was OK.)

With this new udev, the recognition of the Logitech is OK and now at boot, two caracter devices (event0 and event1) are created in /dev/input/

In xorg.conf, I only need to specify in the mouse section:
Section "InputDevice"
������� Identifier����� "MX1000"
������� Driver��������� "evdev"
������� Option��������� "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
EndSection

No special device needs to be created with some udev rules.
All the buttons are recognized.

However, using evdev has triggered another problem, with the keyboard this time:
All the extra keys of the Logitech keyboard (multimedia etc...) are no longer recognized by X.

The keyboard section is :
Section "InputDevice"
������� Identifier� "Keyboard0"
������� Driver����� "kbd"
������� Option������� "Autorepeat" "250 30"
������� Option������� "XkbModel"�� "pc105"
������� Option������� "XkbLayout"� "fr"
EndSection

When using Mouse0 driver, they were well recognized, i.e they were producing something in showkey, but now with evdev, none of them produce anything with showkey.

I tried to use the evdev driver for the keyboard (with /dev/input/event0 as "Device"), but then the Option "XkbLayout"� "fr" doesn't work anymore and I have an US keyboard instead of a french one (after googling, it appears that this is a bug with Xorg 6.9).

I use a lot the extra keys of my logitech keyboard so it's impossible for me to abandon them.
Any idea why evdev messes up the keyboard?
Thanks
