I'm not following that... touchscreen events. Lots of things really expect /dev/event/* And based on the type of event we are dealing with, I have needed to setup diff symlinks in a more dynamic way then having to edit every single mdev.conf for the exact device. > > fb[0-9] 0:0 0600 @mkdir -pm 755 fb;cd fb && ln -sf ../$MDEV $(echo $MDEV | > cut -c 3-) > > loop[0-9] 0:0 0640 @mkdir -pm 755 loop;cd loop && ln -sf ../$MDEV $(echo > $MDEV | cut -c 5-) > > i2c-[0-9].* 0:0 0660 @mkdir -pm 755 i2c && cd i2c && ln -sf ../$MDEV $(echo > $MDEV | cut -c 5-) > > That's looking like a common enough idiom we'd want to support it... Yeah all the mkdir -m 755 calls annoy me. Would be nice if we could set a default umask before the systems umask is set. Example: when calling mdev from the inittab file. For testing or even to make a quick set of default devices a feature to define the /dev/ dir would be good. As well as the ability to use another mdev.conf vs the system one. Maybe something like r...@device # mdev -s -f ./etc/mdev.conf -d ./dev/ Yes I know patches are welcome :) > Where's this being used?

My usage mainly covers the HTC Wizard phone running Xfbdev (small community). The AML-M8050 (Nobody really). A beagle board and some other HTC phone that another dude uses. _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
