That's a great workaround! After Fabio mentioned this eventX thing, I thought I had to use the real event file which might change from time to time.
I'd never thought of changing the udev rule to make the link in the eventX syntax to outsmart this evdev bug! Thank you very much! -- evdev package 1.1.2-0ubuntu1 is seems to be broken https://launchpad.net/bugs/43100 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
