udev

rules

udev rules files

Distro	udev	Kernel	User	Purpose and Notes
LFS pre6.0	0.27	2.6.7	Wyrfel	These rules create some useful symlinks and a names.d folder with symlinks that can be used by scripts to trigger more expressive names for some devices. They are made for the T41p 2373-GHG, but should be easily adoptable to other models.
Gentoo	068	2.6.13	Andi	This rules file creates symlinks for ThinkPads trackpoint, touchpad and a usb mouse (/dev/input/trackpoint -> /dev/input/eventX, etc...). This is handy for X11 configuration if you want to use the synaptics driver and need to know which event device is wired to the touchpad. Won't work with older udev versions. Tested on TP T43.
