Bug 138531 – 30-svgalib.rules Needs update to support udev 94

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description James Wells 2006-06-29 15:05:26 UTC]

With the release of udev 94, the rule parsing engine has become a bit more strict.  The effect is that rules now use single equal signs (=) for assignment only, and double equal signs (==) for comparison.  30-svgalib.rules still uses a sngle quote for a comparison.  Existing rule looks like;
KERNEL="svga*", NAME="%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="video"

And needs to be changed to;
KERNEL=="svga*", NAME="%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="video"

I had a couple of other rules that didn't work with 094, so I did a

for i in $(grep -l "KERNEL=\"" *); do sed -i "$i" -e 's/KERNEL="/KERNEL=="/'; done

in /etc/udev/rules.d.
