I installed udev-038-1 and after a reboot the computer 'died' trying to
get into X. I did a restart in run-level 3 and /var/log/Xorg.0.log said:
Cannot open device /dev/input/mice
No such file or directory.
......
Fatal server error: failed to initialize core devices
I added the line Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "1" (in the ServerFlags
section) in xorg.conf.. and X started with no mouse.
I entered the directory and /dev/input/ was empty
udevd was running
ps aux | grep udevd:
root 250 0.0 0.0 3184 452 ? S<s 04:17 0:00 udevd
after a: /sbin/udevstart (/sbin/udev) , (or a : MAKEDEV mouse) it created
the entries and the mouse start working.
Why doesn't udev create the entries for the mouse at startup?
My distro is Fedora Core 2 , xorg 6.8.1 , kernel: 2.6.8-1.624
Tks.

No idea. Everything is working well here with the same setup.
Do you have that problem with every reboot?
Do you have a USB-mouse? If yes, you may try diconnect/reconnect it and look
in /dev if the nodes are deleted/created.

I get this sometimes with my wireless mouse at home. It never seems to occur
with my non wireless mice. I have assumed it is something to do with wireless
(or maybe logitech only) mice.

The mouse is an usb logitech, but i use it with a 'converter' to PS2. I
tried disconnecting/reconnecting it and the nodes are still deleted.
This problem apeared after i installed the 038 version of udev. I'll try
downgrading to another version to see if it works..
Adi.
