Bug 275497 – sys-fs/udev-141: typo in device naming of a Logitech LX3 usb event mouse connected to a docking station

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Toralf Förster 2009-06-26 15:27:06 UTC]

Hello,

at my ThinkPad T400 w/ current kernel and a Logitech LX3 mouse the follwoing definition within /etc/X11/xorg.conf works like a charm :

tfoerste@n22 ~ $ grep usb /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        Option          "Device"        "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB-PS.2_Optical_Mouse-event-mouse"

However if the t40 is within the docking station the mouse is known as :
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB-PS_2_Optical_Mouse-event-mouse

Please note the "PS.2" verus "PS_2" :-(

How can I solve this issue ?


Reproducible: Always




stable Gentoo x86

OTOH if that is a desired behaviour my work around was already established (by  adding that mouse too to xorg.conf).

Are you sure that the device is still created with the old name, regardless of with or without docking station.

This looks more like the general sanitizing of device strings for use in file names.

If it still happens, please attach the output of
udevadm info -a -n <DEVICE_NAME>
for both cases.
