hi there... i set this up, and udev seems to be creating the symlink dynamically as expected. however... there is one major problem! instead of creating the link to /dev/input/mouseX, it is creating to the link to /dev/input/ts2, which does not appear to be a valid mouse device. how can i fix it? (ts2 appears only when the usb mouse is plugged in) cheers, Sam -- Free High School Science Texts http://www.nongnu.org/fhsst/ Sam's Homepages http://fommil.homeunix.org/~samuel/ http://www.ma.hw.ac.uk/~samuel/
