After the recent update to udev, my keyboard and mouse are not working under X.
If I login to the console and run /etc/init.d/udev restart before starting X everything works fine.
Any ideas what's causing this?

Nope, has nothing to do with rebuilding the drivers

On one my computer I found that udev-171 created /dev/mice instead of /dev/input/mice link,
so I had to change that in xorg.conf

Well, I don't set these paths in xorg.conf either:
