It's also available via an ioctl() and in sysfs. This allows you to specify in an application that you want a device plugged into a specific port of the machine. Not many applications can use it at the moment, but udev can use it to assign a name of the device node. "pinpad/input0" doesn't sound right. What port is your pinpad connected to? -- Vojtech Pavlik SuSE Labs, SuSE CR - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
