Try this rule:

What version of udev are you using? The only part of this rule that creates anything new is the symlink.
A symlink shouldn't cause that.

Or maybe a collision with another custom udev rule.
Can you post your entire rules file?

firephoto, what udev version are you using?

That rule I posted is 100% acceptable according to man udev.
We should make sure this isn't something specific to your system or version before posting that people should not use it.

heh, you beat me to a reply before i could nuke my stupidity. I realized that it would be variable while I was rebooting.

I'm using the lastest ~arch version. 062.

*edit rule didn't work edit*

Well the rule is working now, I tested it with udevstart then rebooted and the system came up so i'm not sure what happened that caused the udev-10 segfault.

Hopefully some more info will emerge about using evdev with xorg since evtest relays lots of good info but it seems like there's some conflicts going on somewhere. It could be the logitech hardware too but my ms keyboard splits up the the events too.

I noticed the fps with glxgears was about the same with this new xorg but the actual gears spinning was REALLY smooth. I haven't noticed or had any other issues so far and I've rebooted and restarted X dozens of times today.

It will be nice when all these nagging issues are cleaned up and the next xorg is released.
I went back to xorg 6.8.2 for now and the evdev support between the two is a lot different.

Since you're using 6.99, did you get all 10 buttons working on your mx700 mouse? I had a weird problem where 1 of the buttons didn't work so I went back to 6.8.
(9 buttons is unacceptable for UT2004, need all 10 ;-)

)

Yes all 10 work but I don't use the "Cruise" buttons anyway so I don't bother with disabling/enabling their link to the scroll. The top button works just fine which is usually the hold out. There's something funky with the cruise up button right now, I disabled sms on it but it reports that it's "i", similar to the other misbehaving mm buttons on the keyboard that are reporting as "1" and "2". With sms on it still reports as "i" but it scrolls down too.

I also am noticing that I can't seem to "xset m 2/1 4" the mouse either. Any value seems to act the same, no change in speeds?

firephoto, are you using a MX700?

When I use lmctl it says my MX700 is unsupported.

firephoto · Posted: Tue Jul 12, 2005 3:25 pm Post subject:

MX700 mouse, Y-RJ20 keyboard and a C-BK16A-DUAL charger/receiver.

I don't get anything out of evtest when in X either.

Yes, works fine.

Strange. I get this:

I just emerge lmctl, so whatever version that is. I'm running ~arch so it could be you just have that "stable" thing going for you.

Is there any word as to when version 6.9.0 is coming out? And is it true about what I hear about gtk 2.8 being optomized for the new version of xorg?

I've noticed on my machine that xorg version 6.8.99.14 runs with less memory than 6.8.99.13. I also compiled this one under gcc 4.0.1 so idunno if that is also a factor.

if I move to anything beyond 6.8.99.8, I lose my second screen. I use Xinerama, and according to the logs everything comes up OK, just like in 6.8.99.8, X sets up the screen right, but the card's output is not enabled and nothing shows up on the monitor. I have a radeon mobility m7 lw (aka radeon 7500).

Any ideas?
