symlink created to ts2 instead of mouse2
Quoted 13 lines · Stephen Mathezer
I am trying to get a usb mouse working with udev/hotplug. Everything works fine as long as I don't try to influence the naming. I plug the mouse in and I end up with
/dev/input/mouse2which works no problem. If however I try to symlink to the mouse, the symlink gets created to/dev/input/ts2instead of mouse2. If I create a rule using NAME for the device, then the device gets created with the ts2 maj/min node numbers instead of the mouse2 maj/min numbers.Does anyone have any ideas for how to fix this or figure out what is going on?

My udev rule is:
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM)", SYMLINK="input/msmouse"
For the sake of the archives I'll answer my own question. I just had to add KERNEL="mouse*" to my rule (duh)
BUS="usb", KERNEL="mouse*", SYSFS{product}="Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM)", SYMLINK="input/msmouse"
