I have a Logitech MX700 cordless mouse. The receiver for this mouse also serves as the receiver for a matching Logitech keyboard. I can properly setup a Udev rule to name this USB device. The problem is that since this device services both a mouse and keyboard, it generates two /dev/input/eventX nodes. It appears the the event node for the keyboard comes before the event node for the mouse, (key=/dev/input/event2, mouse=/dev/input/event3), but depend in what other devices are attached, there is no guarantee that 2 will be the first event node for this device. With the coming Xorg 6.8.99 series having proper evdev support this will become increasingly important. Any ideas or suggestions. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: Want to be able to properly select the /dev/ node for each event device on a dual receiver USB device. emerge info not needed, functionality of Udev is correct.
BUS="usb", KERNEL="event[0-9]*", SYSFS{manufacturer}="Logitech", SYSFS{product}="USB Receiver", SYMLINK="input/logitech%s{bInterfaceNumber}" That's probably what you need. I have an LX700 cordless set and I use that to have /dev/input/logitech00 and /dev/input/logitech01
That worked. I returned back to 6.8.2 because all the buttons weren't properly recognized. For some odd reason when returning to 6.8.2, if the udev rule you suggested was still applied, Xorg would not start. I remove the /dev/nodes and restart udev and it works. (using "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
