No, with bypassing the driver core, the input events will not have a SEQNUM and will not be ignored by udevd. You just don't get the benefit of saving the kernel forked events for all the correct events. I have not tried it, but it should work. If not, tell me and I will fix it. :) Kay ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
