Description:
50-udev-default.rules causes the following error message:
"Synaptics Touchpad The /dev/input/event* device nodes seem to be missing"

I had to restore the pacsave to make it work. It sucks in gnome without a mouse.

Additional info:
* version 118-5

50-udev-default.rules is the old file
50-udev-default.rules.bak is the new one
   50-udev-default.rules (20.9 KiB)
   50-udev-default.rules.bak (5 KiB)
This task depends upon

i don't know how your /etc/udev/rules.d directory looks like normally all stuff is handled by the new rule files.
so please list all rule files here

01-touchpad.rules was created by me after the problem was detected and fixed by reverting to the old 50-udev-default.rules. It contains http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Synaptics#Disabling_touchpad_on_plugged_in_mouse

please confirm if fixed in udev-119 from testing
Comment by Tobias Powalowski (tpowa) - Monday, 24 March 2008, 09:23 GMT
is this still an issue with udev-119?

I think it was fixed assuming the file was overwritten. Sorry for the delay; I was in the mountains for 3 days.
