Description Jan Hrabe 2005-05-10 11:15:07 UTC

I found out by installing gnuplot which needs this -- on a newly installed
system (2005.0) with 2.6 kernel and udev, the svgalib installation does not
create the /dev/svga symlink.  It seems there is no rule created in the 
/etc/udev/rules.d directory.  Strangely, the ebuild file says 

if best_version '>=sys-fs/udev-052' ; then
   dodir /etc/udev/rules.d
   newins "${FILESDIR}"/svgalib.udev.rules.d 30-svgalib
elif ...

but emerge -s udev reports

*  sys-fs/udev
      Latest version available: 045
      Latest version installed: 045

Thanks for any help/fix.

the check now installs rules.d for udev-045 and better
