Hi,

I've installed the udev package from experimental. It works great, apart
from one little niggly thing: I can't find my mouse. It used to be
/dev/psaux, but I can't find it now. Is that because the driver doesn't
register with libsys properly (or whatever it is it needs to do to get
recognised by udev) or can it be something else?

PS: It's a logitech ps2 mouse.

Did you read the documentation?

$ cat /usr/share/doc/kernel-source-x.y.z/README.Debian | grep mouse

Hi,

The new device is /dev/misc/psaux.

try to change
KERNEL="psaux", NAME="misc/psaux"
to
KERNEL="psaux", NAME="psaux"

in /etc/udev/udev.rules

Best regards
Wang WenRui

For udev? Yes. For the kernel, no. I didn't think think that was
relevant since my mouse worked fine in 2.6.3 without udev.
