NAME= silently fails

NAME= silently fails

[Yan Seiner]

I've been pulling my hair out over this seemingly simple issue.

I have a multi-head setup.  With debian Etch, I used very simple udev 
rules that assigned mice and keyboards to specific workstations.

I've upgraded to debian Lenny, and NAME= silently fails.

Old rule:

|SYSFS{phys}="usb-0000:00:10.0-1/input0", NAME="input/mouse10", 
SYMLINK+="input/by-user/MouseJason", OPTIONS+="last_rule"|

SYSFS has apparently been deprecated in favor of ATTRS, so I rewrote the 
rule:

ATTRS{phys}="usb-0000:00:02.0-1/input1",  NAME="input/event10", 
SYMLINK+="input/by-user/KbdYan", OPTIONS+="last_rule"

However the rule is silently ignored.

I've tried various combinations and as soon as I include NAME= then the 
rule gets ignored.

If I just use a rule of the form

KERNEL="mouse*|js*", ENV{ID_PATH}="pci-0000:00:02.0-usb-0:2:1.0", \
        SYMLINK+="input/by-user/KYanMouse"

it works fine, but if I modify it to include

KERNEL="event*", ENV{ID_PATH}="pci-0000:00:02.0-usb-0:1:1.0", \
        SYMLINK+="input/by-user/YanKbd", \
        NAME+="input/YanKbd"

then it fails.

Can someone please clue me in?  xorg's evdev driver will not accept 
symlinks, and I can't get my dual head workstations going....

Thanks,

--Yan
