Description:
The "persistent input stuff" section of the file udev.rules should create symlinks for mouse and event devices in "/dev/input/by-id/" but doesn't because of a missing variable (ID_SUBSYSTEMS). This is probably a typo, since other linux distributions use ID_BUS which is probably the same as SUBSYSTEMS (not starting with ID_). Additional info: * package version(s): udev 116-2 Steps to reproduce: /dev/input/by-id/ must exist and contain entries like: usb-Microsoft_Microsoft_IntelliMouse_Optical-event-mouse usb-Microsoft_Microsoft_IntelliMouse_Optical-mouse |
This task depends upon

This patch helped me to get my mouse working using
/dev/input/by-id/files after recent evdev update:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39981
works for me too (with recent evdev update)
On my laptop, the patch creates 2 symlinks (mouse and event) for
my usb mouse in /dev/input/by-id/, but none for the touchpad and
trackpoint (connected on a ps/2 port)
PS/2 devices are always connected on the same port, so they always
have the same symlinks in /dev/input/by-path/. There shouldn't be
any need to have them in by-id too.

(sorry for the bug spam)
alexisdm : OK thanks. Actually, I frequently disable the touchpad
or trackpoint to make tests, so the related mouse and event
symlinks change over reboots. I agree that it is not a common
configuration so I'll stick with my custom udev rules for that.
Thanks.
