As already mentioned by Michael above you should not use the /dev/input/by-path link, you are supposed to use the /dev/input/inputXX special file that is not a link. If you want to make sure that a specific mouse gets a specific name in /dev/input you need to create a udev rule (changing the /etc/udev/rules.d/20-names.rules file). I attach my file for an example, but you can also read more details in Michael post ant the linked page where he explains his multi-seat install.
In my file the first keyboard becomes /dev/input/mskbd0 (from multi-seat keyboard 0). Hence I use: Option "Device" "/dev/input/mskbd0" in the respective keyboard section. Repeating, don't use the by-path or the by-id link. At least for me, it doesn't work. ** Attachment added: "20-names.rules" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12992480/20-names.rules -- evdev mouse fails on hardy: cannot open input pEvdev https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173833 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
