Package: udev
Version: 0.091-2
Severity: normal


At least on 2.6.16.16, it seems..

KERNEL=="event*", \
        ENV{ID_BUS}=="?*", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="?*", ENV{ID_CLASS}=="?*", \
        SYMLINK+="input/by-id/$env{ID_BUS}-$env{ID_SERIAL}-event-$env{ID_CLASS}"

..is not catch-all.

For example, I had to do..

KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{name}=="*dvb*|*DVB*|* IR *", 
SYMLINK+="input/remote"

.. for the event file for the remote control of a usb dvb device.

or..

KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{name}=="*lpsPS*", SYMLINK+="input/mousepad"

.. for the event* of the mousepad.

This behavior is quite problematic when using programs that utilise evdev since 
event file numbering differs each time replugging of a usb device is done.

It was never supposed to be, by design persistent links are only
generated for known types of devices.

Support for more device types will appear in the next upload.
path_id now should support all the common input devices buses, e.g.:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 16 14:17 
/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-1-event-kbd -> ../event0
