From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Yan Seiner Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2007 13:45:02 +0000 Subject: NAME= silently fails Message-Id: <472F1E5E.7060201@seiner.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org 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....
