10 Yes, I've always performed the etc-update after upgrading udev. The
11 only line in 10-local is the following:
12
13 -------/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules-----------
14 KERNEL=="js*", NAME="input/%k", MODE="664", SYMLINK+="%k"
15 --------end file----------------------------------

19 The thing is, I compared the rules (50-udev.rules) between three
20 versions of udev, and to my eyes, the rules for sd* and sg* are
21 virtually identical for these versions:
22 1) udev-068-r1, which works on my desktop.
23 2) udev-087-r1, the one that was giving me woes
24 3) udev-094, one that is running on my ~x86 laptop and also works
25
26 So I am not quite sure whether it is a rules problem or a problem on
27 how udev handles the events. Is there a way to check that?
