Well, there's a big warning at the top of 50-udev not to edit it ! I've never needed to fiddle with Udev rules before, but I earlier did just what you suggest & all was well again. > I'm only running udev-115-r1 which doesn't have this problem. The problem arose after updating to 119 yesterday. It does seem a strange change to make in the default Udev set-up. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- [email protected] mailing list
