Hi Gerd,

I am forwarding this bugreport for the Debian package of input-utils to
you. Apparently some users don't have /dev/input/event0. Also the names
of the files in /dev/input could be changed by udev, so perhaps the
utility should not assume a particular naming, or even that the files
must be in /dev/input. I'm not sure what the best solution is.

Perhaps lsinput should only operate on files given on the command line,
just like 'ls':
  lsinput /dev/input/event*
  lsinput /dev/mouse /dev/dog

Please keep the CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in any replies.

Package: input-utils
Version: 0.0.20050727-1
Severity: normal

--8<---
nexus:~# lsinput
open /dev/input/event0: No such file or directory
nexus:~# ls /dev/input/
event1   event2  event4  event6  event8  mice    mouse1  mouse3
event10  event3  event5  event7  event9  mouse0  mouse2
--8<---

When symlinking any of the event* device nodes to event0, lsinput
works, but still shows "open /dev/input/event11: No such device node
or directory" as last output.
It apparently just iterates over event0, event1, ... until it fails to
open a device node instead of iterating over all the actually existing
ones.
