Oh, and finally: Depending on what you do in these conf files, it might be even easier, better, and completely race free to move these to xorg.conf.d snippets (see man xorg.conf.d) with the MatchDevice* clauses.

Actual behavior: If udev rule file has an additional '.' (dot) in its name (e.g. "graphics-xorg.conf.rules) it will be silently ignored by udevd. But such a file will not be ignored by "udevadm test <syspath>", which even adds to the confusion about why the rule is not working. Also the man page udev(7) does not mention any additional/new naming requirements. How to reproduce: Create or rename a rule file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ so that its name contains an additional '.' (dot) (beside the one in '.rules', e.g. 'graphics-xorg.conf.rules') and run "udevadm control --reload". From now on the udev rules in that file will be ignored silently by udevd (but not by 'udevadm test <syspath>'!). How to solve this issue: (1) Revert to the old behavior and make udevd honor rule file names as in Ubuntu 12.04 (preferred alternative) __OR__ (2) If this change has been introduced intentionally then (2a) Announce it (e.g. in a changelog and/or upgrade guide so that users/admins know about it and can rename their rule files not matching the changed needs) (2b) Change the code of "udevadm test" (and possibly other tools) to behave consistently so that users have a chance to narrow down the naming issue (2c) Add the changed naming requirement to man page udev(7), info files, tutorials...
