In which case, I humbly submit the following quote: 13 char Input core 0 =3D /dev/input/js0 First joystick 1 =3D /dev/input/js1 Second joystick ... 32 =3D /dev/input/mouse0 First mouse 33 =3D /dev/input/mouse1 Second mouse ... 63 =3D /dev/input/mice Unified mouse 64 =3D /dev/input/event0 First event queue 65 =3D /dev/input/event1 Second event queue Right now, Linux names these wrongly in the kernel. My patches would simply restore Linux to match the naming standard :-) Scott --=20 Scott James Remnant scott@canonical.com --=-y22RD5ZhgsAPZNVFzqzk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBIoM3ZSnQiFMl4yK4RAv4mAKCHB4Vf8zt1tHeF9gmzBsgErZiI6QCfY0Gu pJy92GTL52GewOt1m5sI3u4= =qSMS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-y22RD5ZhgsAPZNVFzqzk--
